Pivotal role of boron supplementation on bone health: A narrative review 

This review from 2020 included 11 eligible studies evaluating the effectiveness of boron supplementation (alone or with other micronutrients) on growth and maintenance of bone in humans through control of calcium, vitamin D and sex steroid hormone metabolism. Authors concluded supplementation of 3 mg / day is considered useful to support bone health (in order to …

Comparative effects of daily and weekly boron supplementation on plasma steroid hormones and proinflammatory cytokines 

In this small proof of concept clinical study from 2011, eight healthy male volunteers were assessed for the impact of short- and long-term boron supplementation on various inflammatory cytokines and steroid hormones. Boron in plasma increased significantly following hours and weekly consumption. Six hours after supplementation showed a significant decrease on sex hormone binding globulin …

Evaluation of milk basic protein supplementation on bone density and bone metabolism in Chinese young women. 

In this randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study, the effect of milk basic protein on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone density was evaluated in young women. The results showed an increase in BMD in all groups, compared to the baseline, with both milk and MBP groups showing a larger increase in BMD. Bone metabolism was also …

A controlled trial of the effect of milk basic protein (MBP) supplementation on bone metabolism in healthy menopausal women. 

In a study of healthy menopausal women, the effect of MBP on bone metabolism was evaluated. The results show a significant mean rate gain of lumbar BMD in the MBP group, compared to the placebo group.  The authors conclude that MBP supplementation effectively prevented bone loss in menopausal women, inhibited bone resorption, while maintaining the …

Milk basic protein promotes bone formation and suppresses bone resorption in healthy adult men. 

In the adult male study, healthy participants were given 300 mg MBP per day for 16 days and assessed for markers of bone loss. The results show a significant decrease in bone metabolism and bone loss. A decrease in urinary cross-linked N-teleopeptides of type-I collagen (NTx) excretion was also observed, suggesting that MBP promoted bone …

Controlled trial of the effects of milk basic protein (MBP) supplementation on bone metabolism in healthy adult women. 

In this study of healthy women, participants were randomized to receive a placebo or MBP at 40 mg per day for six months. A significant increase in BMD and a decrease in bone metabolism and bone loss was observed in the MBP group, compared to the placebo group. The authors conclude that the increase in …
