Patient Education

Boron


What is it? Boron is a mineral that is found in food such as nuts and the environment. People take boron supplements as medicine.

Boron is used for boron deficiency, menstrual cramps, and vaginal yeast infections. It is sometimes used for athletic performance, osteoarthritis, weak or brittle bones (osteoporosis), and other conditions, but there is no good scientific research to support these other uses.

Boron was used as a food preservative between 1870 and 1920, and during World Wars I and II.
