6 mg
Part of PRIME / AM, taken in the morning.
Form, dose and role.
- What it is
- Boron is a trace mineral present in food, studied for its interactions with mineral and hormone metabolism.
- Why DEXO chose it
- Boron is included as a supporting trace mineral studied in relation to mineral and hormonal metabolism.
- Why this form
- Boron (as citrate/glycinate complex). A chelated complex is used for a small, stable and fully disclosed daily amount.
- Why this dose
- 6 mg per day is a modest amount well below the commonly cited adult upper intake level.
- Its role in the system
- This is early human research. A study in eight men at 10 mg/day reported changes in free testosterone, SHBG and inflammatory markers; an earlier study at the same dose reported a trend rather than a significant testosterone change. DEXO uses 6 mg as a supporting mineral.
