 Dietary supplements of boron may enhance the effects of estrogen.

A diuretic effect of Boron was noted during high dose administration.

Supplementation with 10 mg of Boron resulted in the recovery of 84% of the dose in the urine and a significant increase in plasma estradiol concentration, but no effect on plasma lipoproteins. In rats, increasing the intake of B through the drinking water is reflected in the tissue concentrations, results in an increase in plasma testosterone and vitamin D, and results in a decrease in HDL cholesterol. It is clear that Boron has the potential to impact significantly on a number of metabolic processes.

Boron supplementation markedly elevated the serum concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol and testosterone; the elevation seemed more marked when dietary magnesium was low.
