I recently started using boron in conjunction with magnesium to enhance my bone health. I experienced the following unexpected effects: my chronic restless leg symptoms (of TWO DECADES) have disappeared. The pain in my pelvis and shoulder joints has eased, and my stiffness and soreness has abated by 75%. I feel mentally restless and 'perky'. Now for the less attractive effects: The first 24 hours...

I had been waiting over a year for a double knee replacement. Had tried almost every pain killer on the market with no success. Then I bought some THC capsules. They were quite effecctive for reducing the pain but as soon as I stopped taking them for a few days the pain was as bad as ever. I tried Recovery capsules but they just helped with the pain. After three months, there was still no improvement. Then I started taking 3 mg of Boron every day with 1000 UI of D3 and 750 mg of calcium and 750 mg of magnesium once a day. After two months, my left knee was virtually pain free and there was just a little discomfort in my right knee so I still have to walk with a crutch but I'm confident that with continued Boron use the right knee will heal itself completely so I won't need the double knee replacement surgery. In my lifetime I have found that doctors are much too quick to perform surgeries that are not necessary because if the body is given the right supplements it can heal itself. Surgery should be a last resort. Also, one doctor gave me a cortisone injection into my left knee. It made the pain even worse. I do not believe in cortisone injections. Boron works for osteoarthritis. That is my conclusion. Read More Read Less

I have taken 3 mg of boron daily and then increased to 6 mg of boron daily for about 2 months. I now have no pain in my knee but I still have a weakness. I have no side effects.

Taking a finger lick of borax daily for probably 3 months seems to remedy aches and joint pains. May require longer. Stopping can allow trouble to return. Retaking can then fix problem. When cured perhaps once a week is sensible to maintain control. Your daily diet is still deficient!

When I started supplementation T level was at 520. after 3 months of supplementation T level was at 1380. true story. the only thing I added during this period was HIIT training. 45 minutes, 6 days per week at max heart rate for the 45 minutes. I'm 43 yo. I took 1 scoop of "testosterone booster" by six star daily on an empty stomach about 10 am. I was also training from 5-6 am.

I take a 3-mg boron pill each day. Without it, my hands hurt in the morning.

started taking swanson Triple Boron Complex. with in a couple days i started experiencing pains in my left chest and sharp pains in by lower back. A also started coughing up flem like i use to when i smoked years back. Also gave some to a coworker and in a few days he was coughing flem like me. i started taking 6 mg a day,cut back to 3mg and now i dont take any and the coughing and flem has stopped. I also can get a full breath of air in my lungs, something i couldn't do when i was on the boron supplement. I sure would like to know if anyone has a answer to this. Read More Read Less

I experienced the following unexpected effects: my chronic restless leg symptoms (of TWO DECADES) have disappeared. The pain in my pelvis and shoulder joints has eased, and my stiffness and soreness has abated by 75%. I feel mentally restless and 'perky'. Now for the less attractive effects: The first 24 hours I felt like I had a flu, and my body smelled like the supplements themselves...stinky. At night, for a week, I found myself craving sleep early. I don't know if this is related to the fact that my legs were not jerking, or if my body was detoxing or both or something else. Intermittently, I have been having sharp, pinchy pains in my muscles, and some strange itchiness. On the other hand, my libido has resurrected itself. My husband and I both have experienced sudden sore spots in out back muscles that resolved with massage. His sore spots have calcifications in/under them, which he has had trouble with since he was a boy. I plan on using this until I am ancient and dead, with intermittent seasonal breaks, while keeping current with the research on it's efficacy. I hope this helps other seekers out there!Read More Read Less

after over a year of chronic bv (and then yeast infections after taking metrogel), i started using boric acid first as a treatment (10 days followed by metrogel), and now as a preventative. i insert one gelcap after sex at night as a preventative, and it's working like a charm.

Boron has helped my lower back and joint pains. My lower back no longer hurts when I stand on concrete floors. My joints feel much better. The longer I am taking boron the more things that I have noticed it has helped. After 2 weeks of 3mg per day I felt much better. After 3 years of use I have noticed that My wife and I no longer snore. I also have noticed that when I have poison Ivy that if I take 6mg in the AM - 3MG at noon and 6mg at night that the poison Ivy rash is gone after 7 days. I have not noticed any negative side effects but I have to many positive effects to not recommend its use to my friends. Read More Read Less
