Does Boron Help With Boron supplementation (10 mg/day) may reduce the severity...?
Weak EvidenceEvidence Summary
Boron supplementation (10 mg/day) may reduce the severity and duration of menstrual pain in primary dysmenorrhea, likely through anti-inflammatory mechanisms (PMID: 25906949). It may also assist in urinary stone expulsion after ESWL with an expulsion rate comparable to tamsulosin (46.6% vs 38.7%), though the difference was not statistically significant (PMID: 36808295). In a rat model, dietary boron supplementation stimulated bone formation and inhibited bone resorption in retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis, though human clinical evidence is lacking (PMID: 17259120).
