What is the bottom line.....
Here:
Conclusions
Boron has been proven to be an important trace mineral because it
(1) is essential for the growth and maintenance of bone;
(2) greatly improves wound healing;
(3) beneficially impacts the body's use of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D;
(4) boosts magnesium absorption
(5) reduces levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as hs-CRP and TNF-α;
(6) raises levels of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase;
(7) protects against pesticide-induced oxidative stress and heavy-metal toxicity
(8) improves brain electrical activity, cognitive performance, and short-term memory in elders;
(9) influences the formation and activity of key biomolecules, such as SAM-e and NAD[SUP]
+[/SUP];
(10) has demonstrated preventive and therapeutic effects in a number of cancers, such as prostate, cervical, and lung cancers and multiple and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and
(11) may help ameliorate the adverse effects of traditional chemotherapeutic agents.
Americans' daily dietary intake of boron was estimated to be approximately 1 mg/d in 1999.
In none of the numerous studies conducted to date, however, do boron's beneficial effects appear at intakes of less than 3 mg/d.
No EARs or DRIs have been set for boron; only a UL of 20 mg/d for individuals aged 18 years or older.
The absence of studies showing harm in conjunction with the substantial number of articles showing benefits support the consideration of boron supplementation of 3 mg/d for any individual who is consuming a diet low in fruits and vegetables or who is at risk for or has osteopenia; osteoporosis; OA; or breast, prostate, or lung cancer.
If you have not read the report I suggest you do.
VERRRRRRY interesting......
*****************************
All the studies were done with calcium fructoborate.
Now to find good source that does not cast an arm and leg...
*****************************
Going to do base line labs on Wend.

Will start Boron 3mg AM and 3mg PM after blood work and re-test in 30 days or so.
Found this brand that is reasonable (cost) and is the Calcium Fructoborate that was used in the studies.
