How it works
Boron is a trace mineral that influences steroid hormone metabolism and bone mineral density. Clinical studies indicate it can significantly reduce Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), thereby increasing free testosterone levels, and may lower inflammatory markers like CRP.
Boron uncouples testosterone and estrogen from Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) and modulates inflammatory cytokine production.
Safety
- Avoid if you have hormone-sensitive conditions due to potential estrogenic effects.
- High doses may cause nausea, headaches, or irritability.
- May influence phosphorus levels; monitor if kidney function is impaired.
