Merchient’s ingredient library
The library gives no supported wording for boron, because no listed source supports one at a dose. Avoid wording that names or implies a disease, a drug or a treatment, such as “Treats arthritis”.
Reviewed
Not legal advice. This guide shows the wording that published evidence supports at a daily dose; it is not a ruling on any claim. Your own product, its form and dose, and your own evidence still need to match the wording you use.
Supported wordings
Claims Facts
No supported wording yet.
No listed source gives a use with a dose for boron. Health Canada’s multi-vitamin/mineral monograph (dated 26 June 2026) lists boron among its complementary ingredients (Table 4) and says no claim can be supported on them; its general ‘source of’ statements (section 4.1) cover only the vitamins and minerals in Tables 1 to 3, so none applies to boron. ODS sets no recommended intake; FDA lists no health claim; Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 has none.
