<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Guys I have been getting a lot of enthusiastic emails about the boron science post I put up this week. A lot of emails asking me where to buy boron supplements. I think a warning about boron is needed here since it sounds like a lot of you are going to be trying it in supplement form. Basically this is what I posted to another St. John’s member about it: The Twin Labs I have are 3 mg per gelatin capsule. No I haven’t heard of the Triboron Plus Calcium. Sounds like a good idea to mix them though, IMO. You still should be careful of boron intake. I have read of people getting sick and dying from little more then 20 mg intake of boron at one time. It throws the electrolyte balance off in the bloodstream if you take too much of it at one time. This is one mineral that is needed in extremely trace amounts in order to be effective, and it will make you sick if you take too much of it at once. I didn’t want to alarm the St. John’s people about this, but Twin Labs is doing it correctly by using very small safe quantities in their products. About the only way you will get sick from theirs is if you eat the whole bottle at one time, at which point you risk serious illness and certainly death. So please be careful with boron and do not go overboard with it. I understand the talk about osteoporosis, and with menopause, etc, and I think boron is in the long run going to be found invaluable in dealing with all these problems, just be careful with it. Try to get more of it from the foods they recommend that are high in it. Good luck with it and you take care.
