This is the Boron I have been taking for quite some time. I chose it because of the boron being “fructoborate” which was well rates on the internet. Each capsule also more elemental boron (3mg) than I was finding in other supplements.
“Calcium fructoborate is a compound of boron, fructose and calcium found naturally in plant foods.”
There are others “boron” compounds with “potassium borate”, “boron glyconate”, “boron chelate”, “boron complex”, boron citrate, aspartate and glycinate combined, “private blends” and others. I chose to stay away from those.
I began taking Boron Supplementation in an effort to reduce my SHBG long before I went on TRT and before other prescription meds such as Danazol and Proviron.
This is the only supplement I tested with before and after blood tests and found that it did reduce my overall SHBG (but my level was so high, that this wasn’t enough).
I take 2 capsules per day. Strangely, when I went to 4 capsules a day, no additional benefit was delivered, so I have remained at 2 capsules daily. Considering I am on Danazol, the Boron is probably un-necessary, but I am reluctant to stop since I have been taking it for some time.
There is a new formula out (from BioImmersions) called “Fructo Borate Complex” which is a patented new formula that supposedly provides “better” boron absorption. I found a few makers selling this formula with 6mg elemental boron per pill - twice the amount I am getting.
The health supplement field is incredibly confusing.
