Boron and Free Testosterone: How This Trace Mineral Helps

By VigorPeak Wellness Research · Reviewed by Dr. Nathan Brooks, M.D. · Updated June 2026

Boron is a trace mineral with growing research interest in men's hormonal health — and one of the more science-backed ingredients in VigorPeak. Here's what it does.

What Is Boron?

Boron is a trace mineral found in foods like nuts, fruits, and legumes. In VigorPeak it's included as Boron Amino Acid Chelate for improved absorption.

Free Testosterone & SHBG

Several studies have found that boron supplementation can reduce SHBG — the protein that binds testosterone — and support free (bioavailable) testosterone over time (PubMed). More free testosterone can support energy, drive, and libido.

Why Chelated Boron?

The amino acid chelate form is designed for better absorption, helping the body make use of this small but meaningful dose.

Boron in VigorPeak

In Vigor Peak, Boron works alongside Tongkat Ali and Nettle Leaf to support free testosterone and hormonal balance — see the ingredients page and the current Vigor Peak discount on the Vigor Peak official website.

Boron supports wellness and is not a treatment for any condition. Consult your provider before combining supplements, especially with medication.
