Boron

Boron

Boron is an important mineral that's involved in a number of metabolic processes, including the metabolism of enzymes, steroid hormones and nutrients like calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, which are important for strong healthy bones.

What Does Boron Do?

Boron may work by influencing how certain minerals like magnesium and phosphorus are used by the body. Boron may help maintain strong bones, healthy cognitive function, healthy cholesterol levels already within normal ranges, and more.

Boron is necessary for maintaining healthy sperm count and reproductive function. Boron may help maintain healthy estrogen levels in men and post-menopausal women. Boron may also help maintain healthy testosterone levels.

Boron Studies

Studies suggest that boron may support healthy testosterone levels in males. Boron may work by inhibiting enzymes that break down testosterone in the blood, and by helping to increase vitamin D levels, which has been shown to support healthy testosterone levels.

Boron has also shown promise for helping to maintain prostate health, although more studies are needed.
