In 1986, Dr. Rex. E. Newham from Leeds, England, succeeded in proving that the mineral boron is very

helpful in the treatment or prevention of arthritis and osteoporosis are often suffered by menopausal women in particular. Boron could dramatically boost the concentration of the hormone estrogen in the blood and are thought to have an important role for energy utilization and development.

Boron in the chemical symbol is indicated by B3, was not only necessary for plants, especially palm oil, but also allegedly essential for animals and humans. Boron is a mineral much needed micro-nutrient to the body, especially for one of the processes of mineral metabolism and to help improve the nutritional status of bone mineral density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. In the body, working boron employment hormone mimic estrogen, which absorb and store calcium to the bone conditions are maintained.

Boron is recommended for adults of about 0.5 to 2 mg / day. Consumption of boron supplementation is not recommended because there has been no official research on the toxicity or other effects caused by the consumption of boron in high doses. However, the boron dose to 10-15 mg per day is still used for treatment.
When boron deficiency in the body happens there will be increased need for calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium and conversely decrease the need copper. Boron predicted to have strong relations with the metabolism of vitamin D, research has shown that laboratory animals fed on food without boron, having a high total calcium loss, and disturbance of glucose, fats, insulin, and a decrease in bone development.

The main food sources which many contain boron include beans, especially soybeans and processed products, tempeh, tofu, and Oncom. Fruits like apples, according to a study of U.S. Apple Association in 1992, it was reported that apples contain boron which helps the body maintain levels of estrogen in women during menopause. Other fruits such as pears, grapes, peaches, raisins, dates and honey is a source of boron.

Bone Health
According to Prof Dr Made Astawan, Food Technology and Nutrition Expert IPB, the mechanism of boron in maintaining healthy bones and joints are focused on maintaining bone density and integrity and strength of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Maintenance is done by keeping the crosslinking between inorganic materials (minerals) and organic material (protein) in the bone matrix.

This maintenance mechanism is also about the role of boron as a regulator of various hormones. The first hormone is regulated 1.25-dihydroxy-vitamin D-3, the hormonal form of vitamin D. The second hormone is testosterone.
Boron reduces calcium excretion or expenditure necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and boron are considered to function synergistically with the function of vitamin D. Boron indicated a specific interaction with vitamin D to strengthen the bone structure.

According to Hunt, in 1996, evidence of the importance of the adequacy of boron is the acceleration of arthritis symptoms in the population intake of low boronnya or live in an area of land with low boron content. The number of arthritis pain in populations with adequate boron consumption and low, respectively, were 3 percent and 20 percent.

The role of boron in reducing the negative calcium balance by increasing the retention of calcium in the body, especially in centers of calcium is bone and connective tissue. The increase in long-term retention may prevent degradation of the density of bone disease (osteoporosis).

A study has shown that consumption of boron and calcium on a regular basis for several weeks causes 67-75 percent of patients can stop taking pain medication. This proves that the boron and calcium can reduce the speed of degradation of joint cartilage and connective tissue. Mechanism involved is the inhibition of enzyme activity and collagenase, an enzyme which can degrade collagen tissue, especially connective tissue. Degradation of collagen tissue can also cause pengeriputan and premature aging.

Reproductive Function
Male reproductive health is supported by the hormones, namely testosterone, whereas in women is supported by the hormone estradiol. Apart from the two hormones, there are also hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). In one study, levels of reproductive hormones were measured in the blood of the volunteers, before and after consuming a number of boron within a certain time. Results obtained after 60 days consumption of adequate amounts of boron is an increase in reproductive hormone levels in the blood. DHEA hormone increased by 56 percent, while the hormone testosterone increased by 29.5 percent.

Mechanism of increase in reproductive hormones that occurs is through the interaction of boron and calcium homeostasis in the form of calcium-borate-frukto. Homeostasis occurs in the body condition of sufficient boron. Boron plays a role in inhibiting the enzyme crusher reproductive hormones so that the levels of these hormones in the blood remains high. Another mechanism is through the release of reproductive hormones of Sex Hormone Binding Proteins (SHBP) or reproductive hormone binding protein.
SHBP is a reproductive hormone carrier proteins in the blood. However, if the bound state, these hormones become inactive thus inhibits the ripening cycle of reproductive cells. Free testosterone (not bound) in the blood supports the prevention of bone diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, because testosterone can increase the body's calcium retention.

Inflammation
Boron has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity. Activity is very significant, especially for the prevention of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma. Boron can inhibit enzymes that work directly related to inflammation (inflammatory),.

Inflammation is actually one form of the body's defense mechanism against bacterial or other causes, especially around a wound or infection. Anti-inflammatory mechanism by boron is inhibited oxidation attack and support functions of leukocytes and neutrophils (part of the white blood cells) in substances inactivate the unwanted (usually coming from food) that has the potential for oxidation (Hunt, 2000).

Boron also has antioksidasi function indirectly by increasing production antioksidasi enzymes in the blood and in cells. These enzymes are superoxide dismutase (SOD), kalatase, and glutathione peroxidase. The third enzyme is an enzyme natural body defense against free radicals.
