Boron
A trace mineral that appears to help the body use calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. Small studies suggest it may affect hormone levels and joint comfort.
Supplements can interact with medications and aren't right for everyone, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with a chronic condition. Ask your provider before you start.
Studied for
- Bone health, alongside calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D

- Bone formulas after menopause
Found naturally in
- Prunes and raisins

Label red flags

Check with a provider
- Hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast or uterine cancer, endometriosis, or fibroids. Some studies show boron can raise estrogen and testosterone levels.
