Boron 3 mg — 100 Vegetarian Capsules — Essential Trace Mineral for Bone & Mineral Metabolism*
LifeSource Vitamins Boron 3 mg provides a clinically relevant dose of this trace mineral to support bone health, mineral utilization, and vitamin D function.* Evidence suggests boron helps maintain calcium–magnesium balance and healthy hormone metabolism.* Produced in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities and 3rd-party lab tested for purity, potency & label accuracy.*
Research Promise:
Every benefit below is supported by human clinical research indexed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) via PubMed, with full texts in PubMed Central (PMC) when available. We also reference NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) fact sheets. Reviews from 39 health organizations and insights from 20 universities inform our guidance.*
Clinically Studied Benefits (with research)
• Boron — bone health markers* — Reviews and trials report support for bone mineral density and reduced calcium loss in adults (NIH/PubMed — Pizzorno L, 2020).
• Calcium metabolism* — Human data show boron can reduce urinary calcium excretion and influence mineral balance (NIH/PMC — Nielsen FH, 2015).
• Magnesium utilization* — Evidence indicates effects on magnesium retention relevant to bone (NIH/PubMed — Nielsen FH, 1993).
• Vitamin D function* — Proposed interactions with vitamin D metabolism and activity (NIH/PubMed — Miljkovic D, 2004; overview NIH/ODS — Boron).
• Inflammation markers* — Review notes reductions in hs-CRP and other biomarkers in human studies (NIH/PMC — Nielsen FH, 2015).
• Joint health context* — Observational data link higher boron intake regions with lower arthritis prevalence (NIH/PubMed — Newnham RE, 1994).
Additional Studies Showing Promising Benefits*
• Antioxidant activity* — Increased SOD/catalase and oxidative stress modulation reported in studies (NIH/PubMed — Scorei RI, 2018).
• Mineral metabolism overview* — Boron influences calcium, magnesium and phosphorus balance in controlled settings (NIH/PMC — Nielsen FH, 1994).
• Cellular/osteogenic mechanisms* — Experimental evidence explores effects on bone-forming pathways (see NIH/PMC — Nielsen FH, 2015 overview).
University / Academic Context*
• Harvard University — educational materials on micronutrients and bone health.*
• Oregon State University — Linus Pauling Institute — academic overviews on boron and mineral metabolism.*
• Johns Hopkins University — osteoporosis prevention and bone biology teaching resources.*
• Cornell University & University of Florida — nutrition programs covering trace minerals and skeletal health.*
Global Evidence & Authoritative Reviews*
• NIH ODS Fact Sheet (Boron)* — Evidence summary on functions, intakes, and safety (NIH/ODS — Boron).
We monitor research from leading institutions — Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, Yale, Tufts, UF, OSU (Linus Pauling Institute), Columbia, Cornell, and more — to keep our guidance aligned with credible science.*
Brief Benefit Bullets

• Supports healthy hormone metabolism*
• Aids inflammatory balance & antioxidant defenses*
3rd-party lab tested for purity & potency*
**There is some evidence supporting boron's potential to boost testosterone levels (particularly free testosterone), but it's limited, often from small studies, and results are mixed or inconsistent across research. No large-scale, high-quality meta-analyses or systematic reviews definitively confirm strong, reliable effects in humans as of 2026**
