best boron

[Radars]

does anyone know which is the best boron to take.

A serving of prunes is the best way to have of boron. Failing that you can take a supplement. I buy Solar 3mg from Amazon.

I also use Solgar. My body can’t handle prunes 🥴

[t1gernidster in reply to Lynneypin]

I have tried but I can’t bear their texture!!! 😕

Prunes don’t do me much good, too much sugar, so I use Life Extension 3mg Boron as a supplement.

thanks have you seen Dr felchar video regarding boron that if you have osteoporosis 75mg is the place to start.

It's considered that the maximum safe limit to daily boron intake is 20mg. Larger doses "can also cause poisoning. Signs of poisoning include irritability, tremors, weakness, headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms." (webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingre.... I've also read that the main benefit from boron is achieved in the first 3mg, so if you take a large dose, you could simply be wasting your money. Be cautious about what you read on the internet and check that you're using reputable sources, as there's a huge amount of misinformation. In 2008 Dr Flechas was temporarily suspended by the North Caroline Medical Board because "An assessment of Dr. Flechas’ clinical competency found that he often came up with unorthodox diagnoses and treatments and tended to order unnecessary laboratory tests and, as such, would benefit from additional education."

The link says the page no longer exists. It wouldn’t surprise me that he was temporarily suspended - a lot of interesting stuff on his video but he did come across as ‘unusual’ and somewhat unorthodox and I really wasn’t keen his mixing medicine with a good ‘sprinkling of religion’. (although I have to say I have absolutely nothing against religion)

How strange. I was on the page when I copied the link! I don't trust anyone who takes extreme views! If there's a real danger of serious side effects from taking the amount he advocates, it just isn't worth the risk.

Thanks very much Met00 for giving the max dose 20mg of Boron. I was sent the wrong Boron recently, 3mg instead of the 5mg - and it states that the serving size is 1 capsule. So next time I order Boron I am going to order one with a higher daily value.

[Met00 in reply to karmel]

That's the maximum safe dose, although since quoting that, I've since read that Europe has set a lower safe dose of 10mg. I'm not sure there's much additional benefit to a large dose compared to just 3mg or 6mg.

[karmel in reply to Met00]

Thanks - I put the wrong daily value down it was 6mg not 5mg - oh it is confusing when the goal posts keep moving about doses.. Changing the subject altogether I was watching a youtube video and the dr said that it was in 1997 that low bone density became the disease, op.

[Met00 in reply to karmel]

Yes, it was with the advent of DEXA scanning. Before that you were only diagnosed with osteoporosis if you had a fragility fracture!

Hi Radars, in the fact sheet here it shows that there is boron in a lot of foods.
