The One Non-Botanical On This List
Unlike the other six ingredients in this stack, Boron is a trace mineral rather than a plant extract, delivered here as an amino acid chelate — a form designed for better absorption than boron in its raw mineral state.
Its Studied Role
Boron is studied for supporting healthy hormone metabolism, including testosterone already within a normal range. Some research has looked at boron's relationship to how the body processes and utilizes existing hormone levels, rather than boosting production directly.
Why It's Paired With Tongkat Ali
Boron and Tongkat Ali are the two ingredients in this stack most directly tied to hormone-related research, and they're commonly paired in men's formulas on the logic that supporting both production and metabolism pathways covers more ground than either alone.
Safety Considerations
At 20mg, Horsewood's boron dose sits within typical supplemental ranges. Because of its hormone-metabolism role, the same caution applies as with Tongkat Ali: consult a doctor if you're on hormone therapy or have a history of hormone-sensitive cancer.
