Boron

Boron is a trace element that modulates sex hormone binding globulin, increases free testosterone & estradiol, enhances vitamin D activity, & supports calcium & magnesium retention in bone; evidence suggests benefits for hormonal balance & bone mineral metabolism.

Free testosterone, estradiol, & inflammatory cytokines in healthy men
Healthy male volunteerscontrolled supplementation study
PUBMEDLow

A controlled study in 8 healthy men found that daily supplementation with 10 mg boron for one week significantly increased free testosterone (11.83 to 15.18 pg/mL), decreased estradiol (42.33 to 25.81 pg/mL), increased dihydrotestosterone, cortisol, & vitamin D, & decreased all three measured inflammatory biomarkers (hsCRP, TNF-α, IL-6).

Dose: 10 mgDuration: 1 week
Small pilot study (n=8); findings are preliminary. Larger RCTs needed.
Calcium & bone mineral metabolism in postmenopausal women
Postmenopausal womencontrolled metabolic study
PUBMEDLow

A controlled metabolic study found that boron supplementation (3 mg/day) in postmenopausal women markedly reduced urinary calcium & magnesium excretion & significantly elevated serum 17β-estradiol & testosterone; effects were most pronounced in women consuming low-magnesium diets, suggesting boron potentiates calcium retention & bone-protective hormonal profiles.

Dose: 3 mgDuration: 4 weeks
Foundational metabolic unit study; supports boron's role in bone health via hormonal & mineral mechanisms.
