Description
Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal mineral metabolism.
How It Works
Boron influences calcium, magnesium and vitamin D metabolism and steroid hormone half-life, through mechanisms that remain incompletely characterised.
Why This Form
A modest dose matching the levels used in the actual human trials, with the mechanism described as incompletely characterised because that is what it is. Boron is heavily over-claimed in the hormone-optimisation segment.
What we rejected: The high-dose testosterone positioning common elsewhere, which substantially overstates what these trials measured.
The Research Behind It
Small human intervention trials on mineral balance and hormone markers. Sample sizes are modest and we disclose them rather than obscuring them.
What The Evidence Does Not Show
The trials here measured mineral balance and hormone markers over short durations in small groups. That is a considerably narrower finding than how boron is usually sold.
