Boron, what's that? Does it hold the key to healthy metabolism? Will a long life with low Boron intake bring us into metabolic trouble? I get the impression of that it can, and today I ordered Boron supplement pills and Boric Acid. Hope to find out what it can do over the next month.
Just now read this study that showed a significant weight reduction in mise by adding a tiny amount boron in form of boric acid to their drinking water. https://www.medsci.org/v08p0653.htm
This is the sort of stuff I have under the magnifying glass these days. Sleep got significantly improved by adding some calcium to my diet, and I've been wondering why. Magnesium supplementation did nothing good. Now it seems like Boron, Calcium and Magnesium do need to co-operate to bring great results. Maybe I had a bad Magnesium experience, because lack of boron and calcium in the body. After reading this mouse study about weight loss from taking a tiny amount of boric acid (contains 17% boron), it leads me to think that this may have something to do with my difficulty with getting rid of that last bit of fat on my tummy. Curious to what can happen by ensuring a reasonably supply of boron in my diet.
May add that Boron is a micro nutrient, and it is easy to take too much, and get in trouble that way too. Just 15 grams of Borax can bring fatal results in humans a study says. This is micro stuff, and I certainly plan to keep it under strict control. Like several other things, the poison/healing lay within the dose.
