Boron Supplements for Arthritis

For me Boron was truly a miracle cure. I am a 78 year old male and blessed with good health, but over the past seven years I have had serious trouble with arthritis in my knees, one shoulder and the fingers of my left hand. I had the normal symptoms: pain, stiffness and swollen joints. Walking became increasingly difficult. I tried a number of the OTC medicines, as well as a few of the remedies on this site. None of them brought any relief worth mentioning. Eventually, I started with Boron, the 3mg tablets. I take three tablets per day. It has now been fourteen days and I am astonished by the success: no pain, the swelling and stiffness have disappeared and I can walk at a brisk pace. I am now scaling down to two tablets per day as a maintenance dose. (Ps. Using Boron tablets instead of the Borax solution was just a personal choice.)

Boron Supplement Side Effects - Burping, Belching

Eileen (Stoke on Trent, England) on 03/12/2021

Hi, I started taking boron 3mg capsules twice a day approximately a month ago for generalised arthritis. All my joints are painful. The boron did appear to help but unfortunately, I have developed this frequent burping/belching and also not passing urine as well as I did. Is this a known side effect?

Can anyone give me advice? I stopped taking the boron about a week ago and burping has almost gone and passing urine much better, so I know it is definitely the boron that is doing it.
I want to restart but not sure what to do.

Borax vs Boron Supplements for Nursing Home Patient

Gisele (Ontario) on 10/02/2020

Does anyone know if you can get the same results with a boron supplement, and if so, what is the best form? (I'm asking for someone who is in a care home and wouldn't be permitted to take Borax.)

I purchased Boron Tabs and have been taking them because I was diagnosed in 2018 with Osteoporosis.

I am a 61-year-old female, have multiple sclerosis and take meds for Thyroid. I chose NOT to take the prescription I think it was Fosamax - and this would be the FIRST time I would tell my doctor that I did not want to do/take something he recommended to me... I never considered Osteoporosis serious UNTIL I was diagnosed. However, after much reading, I decided I would see what I could find on Earth Clinic.

Skeptical still to use the Borax method I purchased a bottle of Boron Tablets 3mg and it wasn't till JUST NOW that I realized I was taking this incorrectly as I misunderstood... Instead of taking the recommended dosage as listed on the bottle to take once daily 3MG- I was taking 3-5 times daily BECAUSE for some reason I was understanding you should/could have somewhere around 20mg of Boron?? Someone please confirm. Should I be taking the as recommended amount on the bottle of ONLY 3mg daily ??? I have read so much over a period of time I am totally confused. I also was understnding Boron was water soluble and your body would get rid of what is not needed. I have had a few lower leg fractures and really believe I must do something to help with this and Boron was one of the few things I have added to my daily supplements. Thank you !!!

I'm taking the recommended daily boron... it seems to be bringing on tooth pain. Could it be clearing bacteria? is it detoxing?

Boron for Arthritis

Neptronix (Salt Lake City, Ut) on 04/25/2018

I have two bad knees and now one bad hip at the young age of 36. A lot of this is due to an internal 10-15 degree rotation in the tibia ( just recently diagnosed; wish I would have known sooner ), causing all lower joints to wear funny since birth.

I have taken 6mg of boron in pill format for 3 days and have seen my arthritic pain and joint function improve by the day. I am actually rather shocked at how fast it has helped.

Previously, I have tried supplementing with collagen and ASU, and have had half decent results actually, but the curative effect has been slow to build over the course of a month.

I have aten a ketogenic ( aka low carb ) diet that is low in plant matter for the last 4.5 years, but the arthritis symptoms have been really bad in the last 4. I believe that my diet is deficient and boron and supplementing has helped.

I will follow up in a month, but the results so far are amazing over such a short period of time, and I just wanted to chime in.

Boron and Blood Pressure

Boron lowering my blood pressure too much?

Hi, I notice my blood pressure has dropped to 106/74. I am 57 female. I was forgetting to take it twice a day and just starting back into it again. I have it cut right amount of Boron as per videos I watch. I will take my bp at the drug store next in town. But lol, they are never calibrated right. Maybe it will put it up to 120/80 normal than. I also woke up this morning with broke blood vessel in my right eye. Showing reddening patch spot and above the lower lid. I think it's helping my arthritis and joints. Long story short should I be concern it's low and and can't blame my eye on high blood pressure. I don't recall any hard coughs, sneezes for a blood vessel to burst. Can't find info. So wondering if you could give me any advice. Thanks.

Side Effects from Boron Supplements, Will Borax be the Same?

Cazzy (Australia) on 02/23/2018

Is there likely to be an initial detox effect with borax compared with boron? The Herx...(something or other) effect? I started taking boron supplements (3mg capsule x 1 daily) 5 days ago for arthritis of knees, and my pain level has immediately jumped from a copeable 3 - 4 on my ricktar scale previously to a horrendous 10/10+ and perhaps even tripled to the point I can hardly walk now, with research advising that this can last for 1-3 months! I just can't take any more pain and am just about ready to give up. Some feedback please?

Boron for Arthritis and Leg Cramps

I am 61 years old and I started taking Boron about 2 months ago. With in the first month I noticed a big difference in my arthritis. I could actually bend my knees enough to tie my shoes again and I could crack my nuckels again but the best think I have found is I have no more leg cramps. I weighed 285 but now I've lost 20lb. I take the Boron supplement in pill form they are 3 mg and I take 3 of them ever morning. Some day I may try the Borax powder but right now the supplement is doing fine.

Perioral Dermatitis and Boron

Carri (Nashville, Tn, Usa) on 05/18/2013

Hello~ I love your site and felt an immediate connection to trying Boron for my Perioral Dermatitis yesterday when I read about it. I took 2 3mg capsules yesterday and today and also bought Neem oil, which I LOVE, (felt and saw immediate positive results), and also a probiotic. This afternoon I have been nauseaus and had a terrible headache and am curious if this is the Boron, am I taking too much, or possibly the "die off", I've read about? Also, how long should I take Boron and do you think I'll be nauseus everyday I take it?

Thanks so much!!!! Carri

Re: Boron Now Working for Arthritis in Hands

Pam (Marlborough, Ct, Usa) on 10/21/2010

Carly, I forgot to mention in my last post, that the doctor did test for arthritis, and Lyme disease. I also went to another doctor that said I had trigger finger, and gave me two shots in one hand, and said come back if this doesn't work. Well it worked for a week and then that was it. After a $300.00 bill for the visit that the insurance didn't pay for, and looking up trigger finger, and realized I don't have trigger finger or its symptoms I wasn't going back there. Thats when I found Earth Clinic. I am also going to try the ACV next week. Wish me luck. Thanks Pam

I started taking 3mg of Boron two days ago and started having heartburn. I am also taking vitamins and tumeric for my hands. I didn't take the Boron today and no heartburn, but took everything else. I have always taken it with a meal, does anyone have any suggestions to take it so there is no heartburn? Thanks Pam
