  • Supplements I want to add

I need boron for more osteoblasts and free testosterone ) I also want to add magnesium glycinate and maybe zinc and copper both in low doses even tho I consume meat 2 times a day if you guys need more information I can also share my diet . Thanks in advance .

  • Adding boron, magnesium, zinc, and copper could be beneficial based on your current supplement regimen and dietary needs. Here's a breakdown of each:

    Boron

    Boron is a trace mineral that has several health benefits, including the support of bone health and the regulation of testosterone levels. Supplementation with 3 mg/day has been shown to impact bone growth positively by reducing the urinary excretion of calcium, thus helping maintain stronger bones1. It also influences testosterone metabolism2. Whether to choose boron glycinate or a complex depends on your specific needs, but both forms should provide similar benefits.

    Magnesium Glycinate

    Magnesium plays a crucial role in muscle function, nerve transmission, and maintaining healthy bones. Magnesium glycinate is often recommended for its high absorption and gastrointestinal tolerance compared to other forms of magnesium3.

    Zinc and Copper

    These two minerals often work together to support various bodily functions, including immune support. It's essential to maintain an appropriate balance between zinc and copper intake, as high doses of zinc can sometimes disrupt the absorption of copper. Since your diet includes meat, which supplies these minerals, supplementation should indeed be low-dose to avoid excess4.
