Nutricost Boron
Boron from boron citrate, with 5 mg in one capsule a day and 240 capsules in the bottle
This is Nutricost's boron: 5 mg of the trace mineral per capsule, from boron citrate, taken once a day. The bottle holds 240 capsules, so it lasts about eight months. The only other ingredients are rice flour, the plant-based capsule and magnesium stearate.
Boron is a trace mineral found mostly in plant foods like fruit, tubers and legumes. Research looks at its possible roles in bone formation, calcium metabolism and the work of hormones such as vitamin D and estrogen, though the NIH says a clear function hasn't been pinned down yet (NIH ODS). Nutricost sells it as a simple mineral supplement, and the label marks it non-GMO, gluten-free and third-party tested.
