Now Foods, Boron, 3 mg, 100 Veg Capsules

Now Foods Boron 3 mg – boron in a veg capsule for 100 days

Now Foods Boron is a food supplement in capsule form, each veg capsule providing 3 mg of boron. In this product boron is bound to glycine: each capsule contains 30 mg of Albion™ boron glycinate, which provides 3 mg of boron. The recommended daily dose is one capsule with a meal, so a container of 100 capsules lasts more than three months. The formula is simple: besides boron, the capsule contains rice flour, stearic acid of vegetable origin and maltodextrin, and the capsule shell is made of hypromellose, a plant-based cellulose. The product is made by NOW Foods, a family-owned company that has been producing food supplements since 1968.

Boron

Boron is a trace element that people obtain mainly from plant foods. Boron is found, for example, in fruit, prunes and raisins, avocados, nuts, legumes and leafy vegetables. The boron content of food depends largely on the soil in which the plant was grown, so it can differ noticeably between regions. Unlike many other minerals, boron has no nutrient reference value set in the European Union, which is why the product table shows „**" instead of %NRV.

Albion™ is the trademark of a producer of mineral amino acid compounds. In this product boron is bound to the amino acid glycine, and 30 mg of boron glycinate provides 3 mg of boron per capsule.

How to use?

Take one capsule a day with a meal and swallow it with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you use a multivitamin or other food supplements containing boron at the same time, take their composition into account too. Taking the capsule at the same time every day, for example with lunch or dinner, helps you remember it. At the recommended use, one container lasts 100 days. After opening, keep the container in a cool, dry place and close the lid after each use.
