Description
Boron is a mineral with a surprising number of great benefits.
It is mostly known for its ability to decrease Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) [study]. This compound SHBG binds up your free (active) testosterone. By reducing it, you’ll have more free active testosterone floating around your body, increasing the effects we know testosterone brings with it.
Besides increasing free testosterone by lowering SHBG, Boron has been shown to
- Significantly reduce important inflammatory markers
- Improve the absorption of Magnesium and Calcium
- Improve bone health
- Reduce the breakdown of vitamin D
- Protect against pesticide-induced oxidative stress and heavy-metal toxicity
