"Boron may balance levels of sex hormones similar to the action of maca root powder. Maca acts on the pituitary gland not only to increase but also to balance our sex hormones and seems to stimulate our own progesterone production as needed."

The original article that lead me here was related to fatigue and such.

Thought at least that due to that quotation alone that this was worth some research.

And if you read it and get caught up in the potential fetal issues, look at the numbers. It would require massive overdoses like 40-60 mg per kg of body weight kind of craziness before any of those things surface, even in animals, to which we do not have similar gestational processes, just for anyone paying attention. I was informed that humans and rats do not have similar processes, so testing for human contraindications on mice/rats is ridiculous, as it won't translate. I don't know about rabbits or other animals. I plan to start with low level supplementation of this something in the next month, when I can get my wits and research together...
