HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boron (Glycinate) by Pure Encapsulations
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, bound to glycine for absorption. Boron is a mineral that your body uses in small amounts, and it appears in many foods.
The capsule itself is made from cellulose and water—no unnecessary fillers.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Boron is likely effective for boron deficiency, which is rare but can occur in people with very limited dietary intake. It's listed as possibly effective for vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) and radiation-related skin damage (radiation dermatitis).
The evidence doesn't support its use for athletic performance.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Boron is generally well tolerated when you stay below the tolerable upper intake level of 20 mg daily. At normal supplement doses, the most common side effects are mild—anorexia, skin irritation, indigestion, or burning if applied vaginally.
High chronic doses (1 gram daily or more of boric acid) can cause skin problems and hair loss; very large doses can cause poisoning with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and more serious symptoms. The safety data advises against boron supplements in pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to the risk of harm to the fetus or limited safety information.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for boron. That doesn't mean interactions are impossible, so if you take any medications—especially those for hormones, bone health, or immune function—a quick check with your pharmacist is smart.
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.
Boron supplements are straightforward if you're treating a documented deficiency or exploring it for yeast infections or skin damage—and you're well below the upper safe limit. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this; the safety data doesn't support its use in these situations.
Check your exact dose and run it by your own healthcare provider if you have any questions.
