Now Foods, Boron, 3 mg, 250 Veg Capsules

Now Foods Boron 3 mg – boron in vegetarian capsules

Now Foods Boron is a food supplement in vegetarian capsules, each capsule providing 3 mg of boron. Boron is provided as boron glycinate: one capsule contains 30 mg of Albion™ boron glycinate, which yields 3 mg of boron. The recommended daily dose is one capsule with a meal, so a container of 250 capsules lasts more than eight months. The large pack suits those who prefer a container for longer use and do not want to buy the supplement often. The capsule shell is made from plant cellulose, and according to NOW Foods the product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. 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 occurs naturally in many plant foods. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and dried fruits such as prunes and raisins, as well as avocados, contain more boron. The boron content of food depends largely on the soil in which the plant was grown. No reference intake (NRV) has been established for boron in the European Union, so no %NRV is shown in the table. Now Foods Boron provides 3 mg of boron in one capsule. Boron glycinate is a compound in which boron is bound to the amino acid glycine; the ingredient used in this product carries the Albion™ trademark.

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 a mineral complex at the same time, check whether it also contains boron and take the total amount from both products into account. Taking the capsule at the same time every day, for example with lunch, helps you remember it. At the recommended use, one container lasts 250 days. After opening, store the container in a cool, dry place.
