HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boron 3 mg by Puritan's Pride
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
This supplement contains one active ingredient: boron, a mineral that plays a role in bone health and other body functions. Each tablet delivers 3 mg of boron.
The inactive ingredients — cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, palm leaf glaze, silica, and magnesium stearate — are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Boron is likely effective for treating boron deficiency if that's what you have. For vaginal yeast infections and radiation-related skin damage, the evidence suggests boron may help, though the data isn't as strong.
For athletic performance, the evidence points the other way — boron appears ineffective for that purpose.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
At the dose in this product (3 mg), boron is generally well tolerated. The main side effects from oral use at normal doses are minor — things like indigestion, skin irritation, or loss of appetite.
That said, boron becomes toxic at high doses; chronic use of very large amounts can cause hair loss, skin problems, and serious poisoning. Because of limited safety data, you should avoid boron supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, use the medication checker on this page to confirm there are no conflicts with any prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs you take.
