Boron (Borium Max) 10mg | 365 Tablets | German Elite Nutrition

Boron by German Elite Nutrition

Looking for a pure boron supplement without any fuss? Boron, also known as borium or bor, is a trace element that naturally occurs in small amounts in the soil and thus ends up in plants. These tablets by German Elite Nutrition provide 10 mg of boron per tablet, derived from sodium borate. One jar contains 365 vegan tablets, with one tablet per day. It really couldn't be simpler as a boron supplement, and that's exactly the point.

What boron is and where it is found

Boron is a mineral found in soil, rock, and water. It reaches crops through the roots, and thus ends up on your plate. You will find it mainly in fruit, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, such as apples, pears, raisins, and almonds. The exact amount of boron in a food item varies greatly. This is because it depends on the soil in which it grew. Two apples from different regions can therefore contain very different amounts. Your body does not produce boron itself; you only get it through food. What many people do not know is that this means daily intake varies considerably among people. One day you may eat many boron-rich products, the next day almost none. In food, boron is mainly found in plant-based products. Meat, fish, and dairy provide very little, while vegetables, fruit, and nuts contain more. So, those who eat a lot of plant-based foods often end up with a higher intake than those who do not.

Boron from sodium borate

In this formula, boron is in the form of sodium borate, a salt of boric acid. Each tablet provides 10 mg of boron. The rest of the tablet consists of a plant-based filler, microcrystalline cellulose. Nothing else is added. No black pepper, no colorings, no flavorings. In short: boron and a filler, and nothing else. This clean composition also makes the tablet suitable for vegans and for people who pay attention to additives. Boron occurs in several forms, and sodium borate is one of the common ones. It is a stable compound that is easily processed into a tablet without the need for various excipients. This keeps the label short and clear: you can see at a glance what you are taking.

Boron among the other trace elements

Boron, or borium, belongs to the trace elements, just like zinc, selenium, iodine, and copper. These are minerals that you only get in very small amounts through food, unlike major minerals such as calcium and magnesium, of which you need hundreds of milligrams per day. With trace elements, you are quickly talking about micrograms to a few milligrams. While zinc and selenium are well known to many people, boron often remains overlooked. Yet it is simply found in a varied diet, especially in plant-based products.

10 mg per tablet, a year in a jar

Each package contains 365 tablets. At one tablet per day, it will last you a full year. The tablets are small, tasteless, and easy to swallow. This way, you get the same measured amount of boron every day, without the hassle of weighing or dealing with powder. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets 10 mg of boron per day as the safe upper limit for adults, for the total intake from food and supplements combined. Therefore, stick to one tablet per day and do not exceed that amount. For the rest, use is simple, as you do not need to stick to a fixed time. Take the tablet with some water at a time that suits you, whether at breakfast or in the evening.

In short, this is a pure boron supplement: 10 mg of boron per tablet, a plant-based filler, and nothing else. A simple way to give your daily portion of this trace element a fixed form, for a year from a single jar. Exactly what you are looking for if you want borium without additives, in a form that fits into your daily routine without a second thought.
