THE 10$ T BOOSTER?? BORON: COPE OR LEGIT?

[Dicklet.4.3]

The trace mineral boron is a micronutrient with diverse and vitally important roles in metabolism that render it necessary for plant, animal, and human health, and as recent research suggests, possibly for the evolution of life on Earth. As the current article shows, boron has been proven to be an important trace mineral because it

(1) is essential for the growth and maintenance of bone;

(2) greatly improves wound healing;

(3) beneficially impacts the body’s use of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D;

(4) boosts magnesium absorption;

(5) reduces levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α);

(6) raises levels of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase;

(7) protects against pesticide-induced oxidative stress and heavy-metal toxicity;

(8) improves the brains electrical activity, cognitive performance, and short-term memory for elders;

(9) influences the formation and activity of key biomolecules, such as S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+);

(10) has demonstrated preventive and therapeutic effects in a number of cancers, such as prostate, cervical, and lung cancers, and multiple and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; and

(11) may help ameliorate the adverse effects of traditional chemotherapeutic agents.

In none of the numerous studies conducted to date, however, do boron’s beneficial effects appear at intakes > 3 mg/d.

• Boron Boosts Free Testosterone: In one study, following just one week of Boron supplementation (10mg daily), male subjects reported an average increase in free testosterone levels of 28.3%,1 which is significant by all standards. Another study using a dose of 10mg/daily for 4 weeks also reported an upward trend in overall testosterone levels at 11.4%.
• Inhibition of SHBG: SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), is a protein that is found in the blood whose primary function is to bind to sex hormones and prevent their effects. While it has its function, it can be annoying, since as you raise testosterone levels, more of it finds itself bound, unable to exert any benefits in your body. Luckily, Boron supplementation has been found to reduce SHBG levels in the blood, allowing more testosterone to elicit its actions. This could also explain the acute rise in free testosterone following one week of usage, but a slower overall trend of increased T levels.
• Estrogen Reduction: Boron increases testosterone, but it can reduce estrogen levels as well. The same study mentioned above found that over the course of a week, 10mg of boron consumption decreased serum estradiol levels a whopping 39%! However, this effect may not be sustainable, as another study revealed that longer term supplementation, 4 weeks, actually led to increases in serum estradiol levels. So it may be best to keep supplementation limited to short periods of time. I suggest you cycle Boron 2 weeks on, 1 week off to reap all the benefits without the negatives.

Lowers insuline tho

I'd add that the problem with "T Boosters" is that even if they work, your body doesn't want elevated T levels. That's why you get an endogenous T shutdown when injecting exogenous T. Homeostasis is highly essential to the body and unless your body has a high environmental demand for T and your genetics allow it, your T levels will peak a little and return to baseline again. In any case, make sure you pair it with activities and habits where T is a primary currency. Lift, do extreme sports that require bravery, go on dates, surround yourself with attractive women and compete with other men. Many of the hormones in the body are demand driven, so why would T be any different? Fun fact: Testosterone chronically drops in men when they become fathers and it temporarily spikes when you talk to a new woman that you consider attractive.

Body is exposed to stress so it produces cortisol, adrenaline, etc.
Body has sex so it produces oxytocin, dopamine, etc.
Body needs calories so it produces ghrelin.
Body doesn't need calories so it produces leptin.

These are the obvious ones, but the list goes on and on.

On another note, Boron is cheap and is an essential mineral responsible for other things than T production, so why the fuck not. In the end, it's all about how it makes you feel and the real tangible effects of it. Give it a shot, test it on yourself and see if you actually FEEL it.

its like protein that is found on foods and its usually taken for osteoatrathis

Cope bro. Only legit way to increase t is to inject.
