Boron (B) is a chemical element, but in supplements, boron is most commonly used in the forms of boron citrate, boron glycinate, or boric acid (H₃BO₃)....These compounds are generally stable, safe, and easily absorbed. In contrast, borax (Na₂[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·8H₂O) in solution, exhibits strong alkalinity, which can irritate tissues and can cause damage to the kidneys, liver, and reproductive organs if your overdose (which is quite possible due to lack of standardization. ) ⤵️ Borax is about 11.3% elemental boron, so just 1 gram gives 113 mg — far above the safe daily dose (0,16 mg/kg/day). It’s not standardized, so you can’t control the exact intake.One full teaspoon (about 3 grams) contains around 339 mg of boron, greatly exceeding safe levels and posing a serious risk of toxicity. 1/8 of a teaspoon of borax (about 0.375 grams) contains approximately 42 mg of elemental boron, which is over 5 times the safe daily limit for a 50 kg person (about 8 mg/day). And that’s not even mentioning the possible presence of impurities and the fact that borax is not intended for internal use. I would be very cautious with people who tell you that boron and borax it’s the same thing or that it could be used in the same way. P.s. I’m writing this with the best intentions and based on my current knowledge and understanding, which I believe to be accurate but may not be complete. Everyone can study the available information, look at the chemical formulas of these substances, and form their own opinion. Sending love 💚💚💚
