Boron Amino Acid Chelate: What the Label Name Means and What It Does Not Tell You
A boron amino acid chelate is a form of boron bound to an amino acid. The name tells you the form, not the dose of boron. SodaPeak lists it last in the blend, with a ceiling of 150 mg for the compound. NIH sets the boron upper limit at 20 mg a day for adults and does not address testosterone in men.

The name01
What is a boron amino acid chelate?
Boron bound to an amino acid. The binding is meant to hold the mineral in a form that is easier to handle.
That description is the general meaning of the word chelate. This site has no source that compares the absorption of this form with others, and makes no claim about it. What the name does tell you is that the weight on the label is the weight of the compound, not of boron.
Reading it02
What can I read from the SodaPeak line?
Its position and a ceiling. Not the boron.
| Question | Answer from the label |
|---|---|
| Position | Eighth and last in the blend |
| Ceiling per serving | 150 mg, for the whole compound |
| Boron share | Not stated |
| Amino acid used | Not stated |
The ceiling is arithmetic from the descending-order rule (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). See the boron page for the full line.
What NIH says03
What does NIH say about boron?
That the upper limit is 20 mg of boron a day for adults, and that evidence for bone health is preliminary or inconclusive.
The ODS sheet does not address testosterone in men and notes that boron is not known to have clinically relevant medicine interactions (NIH ODS, Boron). Without the boron share, none of this can be matched to the capsule.
The Supplement Facts panel names 2 capsules as one serving: a 1,200 mg blend of 8 names. A bottle of 60 lasts 30 days.
The seller brief allows 1 or 2 capsules a day. If the two capsules are equal, which the label does not say, 1 capsule holds half: up to 600 mg of blend, and a bottle lasts 60 days.
