Boron – Sources, Benefits & Health Risks
Learn about boron: natural sources in food, possible roles in the body, and health risks from excessive intake.
Add as Preferred SourceThings worth knowing about "Boron"
Boron is a naturally occurring trace element found in small amounts in food, water, and the environment.
Boron is particularly present in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes. Industrially, boron is widely used in glass, ceramics, fertilizers, and detergents.
The exact role of boron in the human body is not yet fully understood. Research suggests potential involvement in bone metabolism, wound healing, and the immune system. Deficiency is rare since a balanced diet generally provides sufficient daily intake.
Excessive intake, however, can be harmful. Symptoms of boron toxicity include nausea, vomiting, skin rashes, and in severe cases, liver and kidney damage. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.16 mg/kg body weight to minimize risks.
