HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Triple Boron Complex 3 mg by Swanson
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
Low disclosure
This product has three active ingredients, all forms of boron: boron citrate, boron glycinate, and boron aspartate. Each provides the same mineral in a different chemical form, designed to support absorption and use in your body.
The remaining ingredients are inactive — rice flour, gelatin (the capsule), and magnesium stearate (a flow agent).
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Boron is likely effective for boron deficiency, which can occur in people with very limited dietary intake. The supplement is possibly effective for vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) and radiation-related skin irritation.
It's possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so don't expect it to boost strength or endurance.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
At the dose in this product (3 mg total), boron is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects at normal doses are loss of appetite, skin irritation, redness, and indigestion.
At very high chronic doses — well above what's in this supplement — boron can cause hair loss and serious poisoning with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety data is mixed.
High amounts of boron may be harmful to a fetus, so avoid this supplement if you're pregnant. There's not enough safety data to support use while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the boron forms in this product.
