Total 957 ng/dL
Free 110 pg/mL

I really don’t want my total going much higher but I’d like to see my free 200-300 just to see if I feel any better. My free has always struggled. Weird thing is on my initial labs, my SHBG wasn’t high.. 28 I believe.

My wife started Boron at my recommendation and the same thing happened. She stopped taking in and was immediately fine. I still take it.

I just ordered some that will come in tomorrow. 5mg per capsule. I'll start with that and see if I notice any effects.

For the guys out there…women taking boron is a big plus too supposedly. If they don’t get any side effects as it helps regulate their hormones and is suppose to increase sex drive

777 does it matter what form it's in?

I skimmed across some medical literature that mentioned something about weight loss benefits in a small study with Boron Citrate

The type I bought is Bororganic Glycine

I would guess there is no difference?

Interesting. She's not a huge fan of her birth control so maybe this will help offset it

I’ve been taking 6mg per day for two weeks as my multi has a little. Aren’t you supposed to cycle it every two weeks? Also, no negative side effects I’ve noticed.

ETA: between the Boron, Magnesium and mercury in tuna Im surprised I don’t set off metal detectors in the airport.

Started with 10mg Sunday. Too early to notice any difference but I'll make a note of any changes I might experience.

Boron Acute Toxicity

It has been reported (no cited case studies) that oral doses of 5-6g Boron (5,000-6,000mg) in infants or 15-20g in adults (15,000-20,000mg) causes acute death in humans.


This doesn’t sound like something I want to continue to use.

we are using 10-15mg....not 15,000 mg

you are talking 1000x the dose

if you take 1000x the recommended dose of many things....guess what...it may kill you


ETA: that study was done on rats. and it was "evidence" it could happen in rats.

best to split dose but some people have issues sleeping if taking a PM dose.
