I read that 10 mg daily reduced PSA
Has anyone seen their PSA go down aft... - Advanced Prostate...
Has anyone seen their PSA go down after taking boron?

Be careful about using medicines that reduce PSA - it is an important biomarker - you don't want to screw with it.
I see where gusgold posted a few months back:
"Researcher At Mayo Clinic Told Me To Take Boron"
and many others here are taking boron -- have any seen a slowing down or drop in PSA?
and how much are you taking?
George,
I use boron.
Here is what I posted in 2016:

I would not expect to see a dramatic effect on PSA. PSA is produced as a result of androgen receptor [AR] activity. In general, one would not expect a supplement to artificially reduce PSA without inhibiting AR activity.

Hi Patrick,
Are you using 3mg or 6 mg of Boron daily?
It seems that Boron is helpful at least to delay the progression of prostate cancer:
Read this:
"After only 1 week of boron supplementation of 6 mg/d, a further study by Naghii et al20 of healthy males (n = 8) found (1) a significant increase in free testosterone, which rose from an average of 11.83 pg/mL to 15.18 pg/mL; and (2) significant decreases in E2, which dropped from 42.33 pg/mL to 25.81 pg/mL. All of the inflammatory biomarkers that were measured also decreased: (1) interleukin (IL) 6, from 1.55 pg/mL to 0.87 pg/mL; (2) high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) by approximately 50%, a remarkable decrease, from 1460 ng/mL to 795 ng/mL; and (3) tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) by approximately 30%, from 12.32 to 9.97 pg/mL. Levels of dihydrotestosterone, cortisol, and vitamin D increased slightly.
The significant decrease in the men’s plasma E2 after 1 week of boron supplementation suggests a higher rate of conversion of total testosterone (T) to free testosterone (FT) in the testosterone metabolic pathway. In support, the ratios of FT/T, T/E2, and FT/E2 were all significantly increased, indicating boron had androgen amplifier effects: (1) FT/T (pg/mL/ng/mL) increased from 3.62 to 4.66; (2) T/E2 (ng/mL) rose from 91.68 to 148; and (3) FT/E2 (ng/mL) from 0.31 to 0.67".

I am thinking to take 6 mg of boron daily for 7-10 days prior to my next PSA test and see the results. I didn't find any negative effect or bad effect as for the progression or worsening of prostate cancer for people who take Boron daily.
