	MedlinePlus Herbs and Supplements: Boron
		Boron should be avoided in patients who have a history of reactions to boron, boric acid, borax, citrate, aspartate, or glycinate.
		Boron is potentially toxic, although humans tend to rapidly excrete it and therefore boron does not usually accumulate in high levels.
		Boron may be associated with reduced blood levels of calcitonin, insulin, or phosphorus and with increased levels of vitamin D2, calcium, copper, magnesium, or thyroxine.

		To investigate further the functional role of boron, brain electrophysiology and cognitive performance were assessed in response to dietary manipulation of boron (approximately 0.25 versus approximately 3.25 mg boron/2000 kcal/day) in three studies with healthy older men and women.
		Because the boron supplement of 3 micrograms/g did not make the dietary intake of this element unusual, it seems likely that the response of the rats to dietary boron in the present study were manifestations of physiological, not pharmacological, actions, and support the hypothesis that boron is an essential nutrient for the rat.

		Boron supplementation (3 mg/day), to five men over the age of 45, four postmenopausal women, and five postmenopausal women on estrogen therapy who had been fed a low boron diet (0.23 mg/2000 kcal) for 63 days, resulted in higher erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, serum enzymatic ceruloplasmin, and plasma copper.
		Although boron is potentially toxic to all organisms, and, as boric acid and borax, has been used as a pesticide and food preservative, higher animals usually do not accumulate boron because of their ability to rapidly excrete it.
