Does Boron Increase Testosterone?

By Black Amber Supplements 3 minute read

Boron has shown promising effects on free testosterone in human research. Findings vary between studies, but the positive results explain why this trace element attracts interest in men's nutrition. For men exploring boron as part of their daily routine, the research is worth understanding. Human boron research.

Black Amber Test 365 includes boron in a daily capsule formula that brings together minerals, vitamins and botanicals. Here is the science behind the ingredient, and where it fits into your routine.

Why Free Testosterone Matters

Testosterone plays a role in muscle and bone growth, sexual function and other important processes. But a total testosterone measurement is only part of the picture.

Some testosterone circulates attached to proteins, including sex hormone-binding globulin, or SHBG. The unbound portion is called free testosterone. Understanding that distinction helps explain why researchers look at more than the headline total: they also want to understand how much hormone is available to act on tissues. MedlinePlus explanation of SHBG and testosterone.

The Positive Finding Behind The Interest

In a study published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, researchers examined boron supplementation in healthy men. Participants took 10mg boron daily for seven days.

At the end of the week, the researchers reported a statistically significant increase in average free testosterone. They also recorded lower SHBG six hours after supplementation. Those were measured blood markers, giving researchers a concrete reason to investigate boron's relationship with hormone regulation. These findings concern the study's boron protocol, not a clinical test of Test 365. Read the original study.

Bring Boron Into Your Daily Routine

Test 365 provides 6mg boron from calcium fructoborate per four-capsule serving. It combines that boron with the rest of its formula in one bottle, so you can include it without organising a separate standalone boron supplement. Each bottle contains 120 capsules: 30 daily servings. Explore Test 365.

For men who want boron within a wider daily formula, that means less piecing together individual supplements and a routine that is easy to repeat. No powder to measure, no shake to prepare, and no flavour to work around.

Follow the labelled directions: four capsules daily with water, without exceeding the recommended serving. Keep supplements alongside a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.

Your Boron Questions

What foods contain boron?

Avocado, raisins, apples, peanuts and beans all contribute boron. They give you everyday ways to include it in a varied diet. NIH food-source table.

Is boron a hormone or a steroid?

Neither. Boron is a naturally occurring trace element. Its presence in hormone research does not make the ingredient a hormone itself. Calcium fructoborate, used in Test 365, is one of the forms available in supplements. NIH boron overview.
