HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boron 3 mg by Nutricost
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Nutricost Boron 3 mg contains one active ingredient: boron, a mineral your body needs in small amounts. The capsule also holds rice flour, hypromellose (a plant-based thickener), and magnesium stearate (a processing aid).
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Boron is likely effective for preventing or treating boron deficiency. It's possibly effective for vaginal yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis) and radiation dermatitis (skin damage from radiation).
The evidence doesn't support its use for athletic performance.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
At doses below 20 mg daily, boron is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are loss of appetite, skin irritation, indigestion, and redness.
Do not take boron supplements during pregnancy — high amounts may harm the developing baby. Don't use it while breastfeeding either, because we don't have enough safety data.
At very high doses (well above what's in this supplement), boron can cause serious poisoning with nausea, vomiting, and skin peeling.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for boron. That said, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page, and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
The bottom line
