Speaker:
Boron for Human Health.
Speaker:
For optimal human health and fitness, born Is an important mineral.
Speaker:
This nutrient has pleiotropic effects, which can have multiple beneficial
Speaker:
effects on the body including inflammation reduction and antioxidant protection.
Speaker:
Boron can also aid in the modulation of various body systems.
Speaker:
Recently, scientists have found that disease-related born polymorphisms
Speaker:
in various species can highlight this mineral's increasing
Speaker:
significance in human health.
Speaker:
So where is boron found?
Speaker:
Boron is a metalloid element that exists in small quantities in the environment.
Speaker:
It's an essential micronutrient for plants as well as humans, but it
Speaker:
can be toxic in high concentrations.
Speaker:
It's naturally present in rocks, soil, water, and air.
Speaker:
Weathering of rocks and volcanic activity releaseboron into the environment.
Speaker:
Plants absorb boron from the soil and concentrate it in their tissues.
Speaker:
Animals absorb boron from plants or other animals that have eaten plants.
Speaker:
Most people are exposed to low levels of boron through food, air and water.
Speaker:
Higher levels of exposure may occur near certain industrial facilities
Speaker:
that release born into the air or use it in manufacturing processes.
Speaker:
But how does it affect human health?
Speaker:
Well, it participates In hydroxylation reactions, which
Speaker:
are vital for the synthesis and metabolism of various substances.
Speaker:
Born is an effective arthritis treatment that enhances bone development in 95%
Speaker:
of circumstances by enhancing calcium absorption to bone joints and cartilage.
Speaker:
It also has an impact on many hormones, including testosterone and estrogen.
Speaker:
Boron neutron capture agents can assist in cancer therapy and boron
Speaker:
formulations can also be used to attack breast cancer cells in vitro.
Speaker:
Boron is also thought to affect blood clotting.
Speaker:
It alleviate symptoms of congestive heart failure.
Speaker:
It reduces lipid accumulation and allows cholesterol removal in various
Speaker:
ways, lowering the risk of developing conditions, such as blood clots and
Speaker:
atherosclerosis and defending the body against heart attacks and strokes.
Speaker:
Borates, like boron, have various inhibitory actions on enzymes
Speaker:
making them useful for cancer wound healing and disease control.
Speaker:
They also reduce geno-toxicity.
Speaker:
In addition, boric acid has improved the function of acetylcholinesterase,
Speaker:
which is suppressed by pesticides and protects the human body from oxidative
Speaker:
stress caused by CCL 4 and other agents.
Speaker:
Let's look a bit closer at boron and how it boosts bone growth.
Speaker:
It's important for developing bones as it helps metabolism, bone regeneration,
Speaker:
bone formation, and mineralization.
Speaker:
It's also known for influencing various metabolic activities in bones such
Speaker:
as its interaction with magnesium., Vitamin D and calcium, which are
Speaker:
essential for bone metabolism.
Speaker:
This synergistic relationship with calcium and magnesium homeostasis
Speaker:
contributes to its role in bone strength for human health and wellness.
Speaker:
Aging can cause bone weakness in porous bone and boron can help to overcome this
Speaker:
worsening by ensuring that the calcium and magnesium levels are working properly.
Speaker:
Boron stimulates osteoblastic cell activity via calcium flux.
Speaker:
i.e.
Speaker:
calcium fructoborate, that significantly decreases serum
Speaker:
levels of C-reactive protein.
Speaker:
whicih indicates that this unique plant mineral borate preparation can
Speaker:
enhance bone energy, and strength by reducing inflammation associated
Speaker:
with bone mineral density loss.
Speaker:
Boron is also good for brain activity.
Speaker:
It's an essential element for brain function and a lack of it causes adverse
Speaker:
effects on the central nervous system.
Speaker:
Human brain activity studies have seen that a lack of boron in a diet results
Speaker:
in reduced electrical brain activity.
Speaker:
A study shows that boron supplementation in participants who intake a diet
Speaker:
containing approximately 0.2, five milligrams of boron for approximately 63
Speaker:
days, can alter the electroencephalogram with a tendency towards action
Speaker:
at lower frequencies and greater interaction at higher frequencies,
Speaker:
the dominant frequency spectrum.
Speaker:
It's been linked to greater psychomotor skills, less drowsiness, mental clarity,
Speaker:
improved short-term memory, and enhanced attention in older men and women.
Speaker:
How about boron and its role in wound healing?
Speaker:
Well, boron is known to have wound healing properties.
Speaker:
A 3% solution of boric acid has been reported to heal deep wounds.
Speaker:
Boric water, pharmacopeia, was previously known for its anti-microbial properties.
Speaker:
Today, borates are used in really low concentrations to treat different
Speaker:
wounds and achieve better human health.
Speaker:
Boron's mode of action in wound healing is associated with protein,
Speaker:
collagen and proteoglycan synthesis.
Speaker:
Boron also controls the growth of the extra cellular matrix, which aids in wound
Speaker:
healing by stimulating the expression of proteins., Collagen and proteoglycans.
Speaker:
It promotes tumor necrosis factor release and synthesis.
Speaker:
How about hormone metabolism?
Speaker:
Born is a nutrient that improves steroid hormone metabolism, especially
Speaker:
sex hormone metabolism by enhancing testosterone levels in men and
Speaker:
estrogen levels in menopausal women.
Speaker:
It's also found that a two month heavy body workout could
Speaker:
lower testosterone production in non professional bodybuilders.
Speaker:
Nonetheless, boron supplementation effectively regulates this hormone
Speaker:
level for optimal human health.
Speaker:
It can also boost estrogen levels in menopausal women, allowing them to
Speaker:
reclaim their sexual energy within a few days of starting treatment.
Speaker:
Boron may decrease the need for pharmaceutical solutions or hormone
Speaker:
replacement therapy by increasing the natural level of sex hormones in the body.
Speaker:
It may also alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as night sweats and hot flushes.
Speaker:
Post-menopausal females frequently suffer from hormonal imbalances affecting
Speaker:
the body's most important processes.
Speaker:
Finally, boron could also help in the fight against cancer.
Speaker:
Boric acid positively influences prostate cancer cells to
Speaker:
maintain good human health.
Speaker:
These anticarcinogenic properties may be linked to the effects
Speaker:
on NAD and calcium channels.
Speaker:
NAD is required for cell cholesterol and fat production.
Speaker:
When the development of NAD or ADP is interrupted, the
Speaker:
cells functioning suffers.
Speaker:
It has been found that the concentration of boric acid affects NAd
Speaker:
productions in certain cancer cells.
Speaker:
Borates benefit cancer treatment by inhibiting the cells' growth and
Speaker:
flattening the prostate cancer cells.
Speaker:
They reduce cyto-chemicals resulting in sales with lower adhesion,
Speaker:
invasive activity and migration.
Speaker:
Boric acid inhibits tumor cell proliferation in cell lines and
Speaker:
strongly inhibits tumor growth.
Speaker:
And that's all for today on borates and human health.
