HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boron 5mg by Best Naturals
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 product contains one active ingredient: boron, a trace mineral. Each tablet delivers 5 mg of boron.
The remaining ingredients — dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and pharmaceutical glaze — are inactive excipients that help form and preserve the tablet.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Boron is likely effective for treating boron deficiency, which can occur when dietary intake is very low. It's possibly effective for vaginal candidiasis (a yeast infection) and radiation dermatitis (skin damage from radiation therapy).
For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective, so don't count on it to improve your workout results.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
At the 5 mg dose in this product, boron is generally well tolerated — most people experience no side effects. In doses below the safe upper limit of 20 mg daily, orally taken boron may cause anorexia, dermatitis, erythema, or indigestion in a small number of users.
Vaginally applied boron may cause burning and pain. However, avoid boron supplements if you're pregnant; high amounts may harm the fetus.
Also avoid boron supplements while breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data. Chronic use of very large doses (1 gram daily of boric acid or higher) or acute ingestion of large amounts can cause serious poisoning with skin problems, hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, shock.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for boron. However, that doesn't guarantee none exist — check your exact medications with the search tool on this page, or ask your pharmacist.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This 5 mg dose is a good fit if you have a boron deficiency or want to try boron for vaginal yeast infections or radiation dermatitis. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, skip it and talk with your doctor.
Stick to the dose on the label, and if you have any questions about whether it's right for you alongside your other health needs, check in with your pharmacist.
