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

Boron from German Elite Nutrition

Are you looking for a pure, no-frills boron supplement? Boron, also called borium, is a trace element found naturally in small amounts in the soil and thus in plants. These tablets from German Elite Nutrition provide 10 mg of boron per unit, sourced from sodium borate. One pot contains 365 vegan tablets, to be taken at a rate of one tablet per day. A boron supplement can hardly be simpler, and that is precisely the goal.

What boron is and where it is found

Boron is a mineral found in earth, rock, and water. Through the roots, it makes its way into crops, and thus onto your plate. It is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, such as apples, pears, raisins, and almonds. The exact amount of boron present in a food varies greatly. This 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: it is precisely for this reason that daily intake varies greatly from person to person. One day you eat many boron-rich products, another day almost nothing. In food, boron is found primarily in plant products. Meat, fish, and dairy products provide little, while vegetables, fruits, and nuts contain more. Those who eat a lot of plant-based foods therefore often achieve a higher intake than those who do not.

Boron from sodium borate

In this formula, boron is present as sodium borate, a salt of boric acid that the body absorbs well. Each tablet provides 10 mg of boron. The rest of the tablet consists of a plant-based filler, microcrystalline cellulose. There is nothing else. 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 people who are mindful of additives. Boron exists in different forms, and sodium borate is one of the most common. It is a stable compound that is easily formed into a tablet without the need for all sorts of excipients. This keeps the label short and clear: you can see at a glance what you are taking.

Boron among other trace elements

Boron, or borium, is one of 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 like calcium and magnesium, of which you need several hundred milligrams per day. For trace elements, we quickly speak of micrograms to a few milligrams. While zinc and selenium are known to many, boron often remains in the shadows. Yet it is present in a varied diet, especially in plant-based products. Since the intake varies so much from person to person and from day to day, some people choose to give this variable amount a fixed form. A supplement is then a way to get the same measured amount of boron every day, regardless of what happens to be on your plate that day. For those who prefer not to leave their intake to chance, this is a practical starting point.

10 mg per tablet, one year in a pot

Each package contains 365 tablets. At a rate of one tablet per day, you have enough for a whole year. The tablets are small, tasteless, and easy to swallow. This way, you get the same measured amount of boron every day, without having to weigh or handle powder. These 10 mg per tablet are not chosen at random: this is exactly the upper limit that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets for adults for daily intake via supplements. So stick to one tablet per day and do not exceed this amount. Otherwise, use is simple, as there is no fixed time to adhere to. You take the tablet with some water at a time that suits you, at breakfast or in the evening.

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