High intakes of magnesium can inhibit the absorption of manganese. Meals containing large amounts of iron can decrease the absorption of manganese and conversely if large amounts of manganese are ingested then there is some risk of iron deficiency. Boron Only Trace Minerals contains 3 mg of boron per capsule. If that weren't enough, boron has been shown to have a profound effect upon estrogen, particularly in postmenopausal women. While some women may not need additional estradiol, most postmenopausal women do.
Blood testing can help ascertain if additional estradiol is needed.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to get enough boron in the average diet. While fruits and vegetables make up the main source of boron, this is negated by the fact that most soil is so depleted of boron that low levels of boron are found in food.

Molybdenum may be used to help prevent cancer as well as dental caries. Low levels of molybdenum can lead to an allergic reaction to sulfites.
