Probably, you are also aware about the importance of

vitamin-D for your bone’s health.

But maybe you are not aware about the

mineral that helps your vitamin-D to work properly. That

mineral is-Boron. Boron increases the half-life of

your vitamin-D. In simple words, it increases the

time for which your vitamin-D will work in

your body to make your bone stronger. And, along

with magnesium it also helps to convert vitamin D

into usable form. Not only that, but

Oestrogen (female hormone). If you are having

menopause, Boron will help your oestrogen hormone to

remain active for long period of time. Thus,

reducing your menopausal symptom. So, you get

double benefit from boron during your

menopausal period, as osteoporosis is also

due to decrease in oestrogen level. Boron will help you

in both- it will reduce your menopausal symptoms and

also it will help you to keep your bone stronger.
