BoronNew
Trace mineral cofactor influencing steroid hormone metabolism, bone mineralization, and inflammatory markers — an overlooked lever previously missing from a Minerals category covering Magnesium, Lithium, and Zinc+Copper.
Mechanism of Action
Modulates enzymes involved in steroidogenesis and vitamin D activation, reduces SHBG binding affinity and urinary calcium/magnesium loss, and downregulates hs-CRP and TNF-α inflammatory signaling.
Dosing Protocol
3mg (as boron citrate or glycinate)
Standard starting dose based on research
