Synergy
What is happening. Boron has been shown to reduce urinary magnesium loss and raise serum magnesium, supporting magnesium status when the two are taken together.
Mechanism. Boron influences mineral and steroid hormone metabolism in a way that decreases urinary excretion of magnesium and calcium, helping retain magnesium and supporting circulating concentrations.
Recommendation. Reasonable to take together, particularly for bone and mineral support in postmenopausal women. No timing separation is needed.
