What it's actually good for
How it works
Boron is a trace mineral that influences the metabolism of steroid hormones, particularly by reducing Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties and supports bone mineralization. While human data is promising for testosterone and joint health, larger long-term trials are still needed.
Boron modulates the activity of enzymes involved in hormone metabolism and reduces levels of SHBG, which increases the bioavailability of testosterone.
Safety
- May increase estrogen levels alongside testosterone in some individuals.
- The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for adults is 20mg per day.
- High doses may cause reproductive toxicity based on animal studies.
