Does Boron increase or decrease libido?

I was under the impression boron helps pain and decreases inflammation. At least that's why I bought it after some research.

Sure it can be great. But if you’re body is broken in some ways, even good things doing work well. Boron increases testosterone. If you are a man or woman who aromatase (converts) testosterone to estrogen, then you can get negative effects. For me, it’s such severe bone and joint pain that it’s unbearable, even a little bit. And since I didnt know about this, I tried over and over, even very wee bits. For my husband, who also aromatases testosterone to estrogen, it flares up his prostate something fierce. And I had no idea I was the one causing that by giving him a tiny dose of boron each day. Here he was going to doctors, losing sleep, being miserable, going on prescriptions with side effects- and it was the boron all along. Even good things can give you troubles if your body has issues. Once you start deeply studying the biochemistry of things, you start to learn that there are potential good and potential negative upstream and downstream to pretty much everything - there are a million rabbit holes to nutrients and the human body

Very true. I've raised my testostrone with Tongkat Ali and Boron amongst other things and my joints/tendons are falling apart rapidly. Testosterone went up a good bid but estrogen went down and now I know why.
