Osavi Boron
Boron 3 mg contains a safe portion of the element, so you can feel the benefits of supplementation. One capsule corresponds to the recommended daily amount of boron - 3 mg. The product is in the form of sodium borate (borax) - in this form it is absorbed in the intestines. It is mainly removed in the urine.
Three chemists are credited with the discovery of boron: Joseph Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard received the element during their research in 1808 in Paris. At the same time - with independent work - in London, Humphry Davy also did [1]. Naturally boron occurs in the form of colorless crystals of sodium borate. It is an inorganic chemical compound - sodium boric acid - also known as "borax", "sodium tetraborate" or "sodium tetraborate" [2]. Boron belongs to 13 group (IIIA) of the periodic table of elements - it has the symbol B and the atomic number 5.
Boron is necessary for the efficient performance of many body processes. Although it is a trace element, its deficiencies have many unpleasant consequences. Sources of boron in the diet include dried prunes and apricots, raisins, avocado, onion, cinnamon, parsley, potatoes and nuts [3].
