MOOP's Take
Boron reduces sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which means more of your total testosterone becomes bioavailable (free). At 47, total T might look fine on paper but free T can still be tanked by high SHBG.
My Protocol
TimingAM — part of T-stack on training days
Dose3–6mg daily
NotesIncluded in the Melaleuca Peak Performance Pack + additional on T-stack days. Boron is the sleeper supplement most men over 40 have never heard of. It's in my Core 7 because the research on free testosterone and SHBG reduction is compelling.

💪 Coach Arnie
If you're over 40 and haven't had your free T tested, you're flying blind. Boron is a low-cost, low-risk way to support free testosterone.
🩺 Doc Hartley
A 2015 study showed boron supplementation at 6mg/day for one week significantly increased free testosterone by 25% and reduced estradiol. Mechanism is SHBG reduction. Evidence is not as deep as creatine but the cost-risk profile is favorable.
