HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boron 3 mg by Vitamin World
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 nutrient metabolism. Each tablet delivers 3 mg of boron.
The remaining ingredients — vegetable cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, and stearic acid — are inactive excipients that form the tablet and help it dissolve.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Boron is likely effective for boron deficiency (a rare condition). The evidence is less robust but suggests it may be possibly effective for vaginal yeast infections and radiation-related skin irritation.
For athletic performance, the data does not support its use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
At the dose in this product (3 mg), boron is generally well tolerated — most people don't report side effects. The tolerable upper intake level is 20 mg daily; this tablet is well below that.
However, the safety data advises against boron supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, even at low doses, due to potential harm to the fetus and insufficient safety data in nursing mothers. Chronic use of very high doses can cause skin problems and hair loss; acutely poisonous amounts can trigger nausea, vomiting, and dangerous dehydration.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the boron in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This low-dose boron supplement is most useful if you have a confirmed boron deficiency or want to try it for vaginal yeast infection or radiation skin damage. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — the safety data advises against supplemental boron during these times.
