Health benefits at a glance:

First of all, what is boron? Boron is a trace mineral needed for optimal health. It doesn't get the attention that other more recognized nutrients receive, but it plays an important role in supporting healthy aging. 

For instance, as we get older, supporting bone health needs to become a higher priority in order to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Boron is shown to have beneficial effects on supporting bone health and nervous system function. (1,2)

Why it works:

Boron can help maintain optimal bone metabolism, as well as promote optimal immune function, nervous system health, and antioxidant activity. (1-4) 

Research suggests humans require a minimum of 1 mg of boron per day to maintain optimal health, but despite its prevalence in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts, it appears many people don’t get this amount on a regular basis. (1,5) 

A daily intake of 3 mg boron per day is recommended to support bone health. (6)

The science behind the product:

A lack of boron can result in the limited absorption of calcium and this mineral can often be underutilized. Boron encourages healthy bone growth and mineralization.

This effect appears to be due in part to the activation and stabilization of vitamin D and positive impacts on supporting estrogen metabolism. (5-7) 

In healthy men, boron was found to encourage free testosterone levels. (8) Boron supplementation has been shown to help maintain joint comfort and maintain healthy hormone activity. (1) 

In a randomized controlled trial, boron supplementation was found to inhibit discomfort at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, presumably by helping to promote a healthy inflammatory response. (9)  

How to use:

Take one (1) capsule daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
