HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Boron Plus by Douglas Laboratories

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: boron, a trace mineral. Boron supports bone health and may help your body regulate hormones and calcium.

The tablet also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, vegetable stearate, and silica — which are fillers and binders that hold the pill together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Boron's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Boron for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Boron deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Radiation dermatitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Vaginal candidiasis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Boron is likely effective for boron deficiency, which can happen if your diet is very low in this mineral. It's possibly effective for vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) and radiation skin damage.

The evidence doesn't support using it to boost athletic performance.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Boron

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

At doses below 20 mg daily, boron is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild — appetite loss, skin rash or redness, and indigestion.

However, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against boron supplements; high amounts in pregnancy may harm the fetus, and there isn't enough information about safety while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it in either case.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the boron in this product. That said, it's always smart to confirm with your own pharmacist or doctor, especially if you take multiple supplements or drugs.

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.

Boron Plus works well if you have a boron deficiency or want to try it for vaginal yeast infections or radiation skin damage. Stay at or below 20 mg daily to keep side effects minimal.

Boron Plus by Douglas Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Boron Plus by Douglas Laboratories interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Boron Plus. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Boron Plus contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take Boron Plus if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against boron supplements during pregnancy because high amounts may be harmful to the fetus. Talk with your doctor before taking it.
Can I take it while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information about boron supplements while breastfeeding. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide whether it's right for you.
What are the most common side effects?
At normal doses, boron is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild — loss of appetite, skin rash or redness, and indigestion.
Is boron effective for athletic performance?
The evidence doesn't support using boron to boost athletic performance.
How much boron is too much?
Stay below 20 mg daily to avoid side effects. Much higher chronic doses (like 1 gram daily of boric acid) can cause hair loss and skin damage, and acute poisoning can happen with very large amounts.
