Supplements for Osteoporosis-Vitamin D & Boron

 

Boron-

Some minerals---phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium, for instance-are

termed macro minerals because they are present in our bodies in large

amounts. Zinc, manganese, copper, chromium, selenium, and boron, on the

other hand, are present in small amounts and are known as trace

elements. Boron is in fact an " ultratrace " element-the amounts needed

are even smaller. But- Boron is now believed to be vital for a number of

 

reasons. A U.S, Dept. of Agriculture research study demonstrated that

giving post-menopausal women a short course of 3 mg. Boron supplements a

 

day resulted in a 44 percent reduction in the amount of calcium excreted

 

in their urine. It also markedly increased the amount of the estrogen

hormone estradiol in their blood. In fact it raised the level of this

estrogen to the amounts shown in the blood of women receiving estrogen

therapy. The conclusions of this rather dramatic Dept. of Agriculture

Study were that boron improved the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus,

and magnesium, helped raise estrogen levels in older women to the levels

 

needed, helped in the manufacture of vitamin D needed for calcium

absorption, and reduced calcium, magnesium and estrogen loss. Boron is

found to ALFALFA, KELP, CABBAGE, and LEAFY GREENS. It is stored in our

bones and any excess is excreted in the urine.

 

Vitamin D

This vitamin is fat-soluble, unlike vitamin C, and is acquired through

sunlight or diet. It helps the vital absorption of calcium and

phosphorus from the digestive process, and helps put them into bone. A

deficiency of Vitamin D leads to decalcification of bones. Good sources

are fish and fish oils!
