Boron - connections

Boron ->

• Affects: Calcium and magnesium uptake (Typical relevance: not average; Condition: unless supplemented)
• Benefits: Menopausal symptoms (Polarity: not; Certainty: seem)
• Causes: Calcification (Level: excessive; Modality: potential)
• Changes: Calcium/magnesium ratio (Level: excessive; State: high_calcium_low_manganese)
• Has: Testosterone-like properties (Attribution: other researchers; Certainty: claim)
• Has: Estrogen-like properties (Attribution: some researchers; Certainty: believe)
• Has: Estrogen-like properties, Testosterone-like properties (Evidence: most studies)
• Increases: Calcium, Magnesium (Aspect: retention; Evidence: Dr. Ronald Roth's trials)
• Increases: Cognitive performance (Evidence: research studies)
• Inhibits: Manganese
• Is A: Macronutrient (Essentiality: essential; Scope: higher plant forms)
• Is Essential To: Humans (Modality: could; Timing: in the future; Evidence: some indications)
• Is Essential To: Human health (Polarity: not; Designation: official; Timing: at this time)
• Is Found In: Multi-mineral formulations (Quantity: many; Timing: now)
• Lowers: Manganese
• Lowers: Manganese (Tradeoff: calcium and magnesium retention; Evidence: Dr. Ronald Roth's trials)
• Promotes: Bone metabolism (State: healthy; Context: osteoporosis treatment)
• Raises: Plasma estradiol (Attribution: some researchers)
• Supports: Calcium (Certainty: may; Condition: chronically low calcium)
• Supports: Magnesium (Certainty: may; Condition: chronically low magnesium)
• Treats: Osteoporosis (Modality: can; Role: addition; Effectiveness: effective)
• Treats: Other condition (Restriction: only; Condition: congestive liver disease resulting in high manganese and calcium and magnesium depletion; Assessment: justified)

-> Boron

• Brand - Contains (Amount: lesser)
• Brand - Contains (Amount: none; Alternative: or)
• Congestive liver disease - Justifies (Restriction: only; Purpose: any other condition; Condition: high manganese causing calcium and magnesium depletion)
• Congestive liver disease - Justifies (Restriction: only; Purpose: osteoporosis; Condition: high manganese causing calcium and magnesium depletion)
• Higher plant forms - Require (Essentiality: essential)
• Boron trials - Studied
• Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D - Synergizes With

Free radical damage - connections

Free radical damage ->

• Increases Risk Of: Alzheimer's disease

-> Free radical damage

• Iron toxicity - Increases Risk
• Blood iron level - Increases Risk (Level: high)

Testosterone - connections

Testosterone ->

• Associated With: Zinc (Degree: closely; Aspect: metabolism)
• Inhibits: IL-6 (Aspect: production)
• Prevents: Prostate cancer (Level: normal; Duration: throughout lifetime; Purpose: prevention)

-> Testosterone

• Zinc - Associated With (Context: erection)
• Prostate cancer - Associated With (Level: above normal free; Prevalence: less common)
• Prostate cancer - Associated With (Level: below normal free; Prevalence: more common)
• Zinc - Associated With (Level: high; Target level: high)
• Saw Palmetto - Blocks Effects Of (Scope: some effects; Alternative mechanism: alpha-5-reductase inhibition)
• Alpha-5-reductase - Converts (Product: dihydrotestosterone)
• Aromatase - Converts (Product: estrogen; Amount: excess)
• Ginseng, Muira Puama, Nettle Root, Puncture vine, Wild green Oats - Raises (Alternative effect: reduces SHBG)
• Chrysin - Raises (Alternative effect: reduces SHBG; Combined with: piperine)
