I posted last month about my doc testing my testosterone and how it had gone up since the last test and the only thing different was boron, I had an appointment today with my specialist and he mentioned checking my estradiol levels cause if they're high it would suppress test production and if we suppressed the estradiol production it would raise my test levels and I flashed back to reading 10 mg boron daily decreased estradiol by 40-50% so that would be an explanation for my increased test levels in the December test

I guess it depends on each person. I did 10mg for about five months and saw zero improvements in my free test.

oh yea that $10 a month bottle is snake oil. dude stfu, its backed by hundreds of studies that prove it raises free testosterone


OP, it may have helped you with your total testosterone levels, but I doubt it. Boron doesnt even work like that, it does a good job of binding shgb which allows more testosterone to remain unbound and free floating

more than likely it was more diet/lifetsyle change that increased total test levels

Dude is mad!

Research indicates a daily dose of can have a slight, impact on testosterone. Why waste time on small increase if someone is trying feel better and produce higher levels. Just use TRT and do it right. There are NO OTC or natural fix’s to drastically increase free and regular testosterone levels.

Lifting weights, particularly heavy compound movements, effectively increases testosterone levels.

i dont disagree with that, most people here are already doing that.

even if on trt, boron does a good job of increasing free testosterone. Why should you spend $10 on it....because maxing free testosterone is what we are looking for. if we can spend $10 for a 20% increase in free, then should do it.

and yea boron can drastically increase free test. we already know that from tons of blood work from people on this site. not everyone responds to it, but most do.

Preach. Every male on here should be on creatine and boron. They are cheap and have benefits even outside of weightlifting. It’s amazing the idiots on here who will argue with the data we have. I don’t get it.

Have any of you had headaches while taking Boron? I started taking a couple of weeks ago, and have started getting headaches about 1 pm for the last week.

I remember reading that headaches are a side effect of taking too much. Perhaps you get enough boron in your diet already.

If you are getting headaches, lower the dose a little and take only in the morning.

My Free Test was 6. Started TRT, 12 mg boron & Dhea. Number jumped to 44. Quit dhea cause my back was breaking out. Back cleared, but free test dropped to 21.5. Still good but big drop.

Now this is also while lowering my test dose from .4ml x2 to .25ml x 2. Test went from off the charts down to 1100 now. Time period is August to now

Make of it what you will lol
