- Paul explains what Boron is, and the importance of incorporating foods containing Boron into your diet. He talks about how Boron contributes to the ability to respond to Vitamin D, shares studies on Boron, and shares his own plan to incorporate more Boron into his diet.
60 yr old woman here. Since your video on your Aug 2022 labs, I started taking 9 mg of boron. First day I felt so much better and every day since. There are many reasons for me to take it. Osteopenia, arthritis, hormone imbalances, magnesium absorption, etc.
THANK YOU, Paul. Tell your mom even if she doesn’t notice right away, it will still help her in the long run. We all want strong bones and body for as long as possible!!!
Tip for taking it: I read reviews and it is best to take it earlier in the day so it won’t make it harder to go to sleep.
Soon to be 59F with moderate osteoporosis,… I just started Boron yesterday >>>are you still dosing 9mg, and what time of the day is your last dose or do you take all at once ??
@@MitziHart I’m still taking it. I take it all in the morning.
@@Darnabymom Good to know,… first day today taking 3mg just this morning, and i also felt some benefits within an hour or so thereafter; less pain and my brain felt clearer,… wish I had known about this Mineral a decade ago 🙆🏻♀️…
@@MitziHart I have osteopenia and arthritis. So I’m working to reverse them or at least stop the progression. I have to say after taking it awhile now, I don’t notice the boost in energy like I did at first. So I guess my body said “ahhh, now to find the homeostasis.”
@@Darnabymom the ‘Boost of energy is a warm welcome, but I’d be happy with it controlled my osteoporosis; I also have moderate arthritis in my neck & joints !!! We shouldn’t feel this much pain/discomfort at our age,… Cheers to living our ‘Best life))) 💛
Also, when I supplemented with boron in the past, I found my memory and focus were freaking insane. Like, I was hungry for knowledge and getting assignments done for school
What form of bororn did you take?
@@pipelisvejdzirnavs5759 I used Triple Boron Complex from Swanson.
You're smashing it bro!!
How many mg did you take
I went with adding organic dried apricots for boron. They were the only fruit that were lower glycemic dried than they are in natural form. I started adding fruit back after listening to your podcast a few months ago but I tend to go overboard and can see the difference in body composition, so I've dialed it back a bit. Keep up the great info doc!
Me too 😆
This sounds like pre diabetic? It's not as bad as one think, like half population is.. Just, you should try out inositol. Works wonder for insulin utility and more
neat
That apricot hack helped me, thx
I went (atkins)keto, took omega 3 w/boron back in college and my depression lifted!!!! This was back on '05
I can confirmed anecdotally for you Paul.
I eat an excess amount of date, and lots of avocado, some nut and seeds. But the moment I supplement with Boron, I can see the difference it makes on my sexual health. A vast difference.
good or bad?
@@blueeyeddevil1 good
@@SuperTople ah, thanks.
Nutrients from food are overrated. They often do not exist, yet we think anything natural is always best - not from an unnatural environment.

Boron chelates Fluoride out of our bodies.. Fluoride is toxic but is in many every day hygiene products ass well as many water supplies including many bottled water. Iodine and vit c will also help with the chelation process of toxic fluoride 👍
Thank you for this tid bit. Will take as back-up for my filtered water.
Does it damage your kidneys or adrenals when you’re taking iodine and boron?
@@jannlittle4745 I take both for years and never had any trouble with adrenals or kidneys. Good luck.

I’ve taken borax off and on. Helps with a workout. It’s also good to clear out intestinal blockages. I even saved a dying, virtually dead palm tree in my yard with Borax.
Boron not Borax
@@lauradavila6790 the best source of boron is in borax.
I thought borax was used to kill cockroaches 😁
@@lauradavila6790 borax does everything
@@lauradavila6790 no, that’s boric acid. You can consume borax. It’s 1/8 teaspoon of borax to 1 liter of water.

Boron saved my life. I will never stop taking it. NEVER.
will you share you story. i just started taking boron
Yes, what specifically has improved please?
Make sure you also take b vitamins because it depletes riboflavin (b2)
I need my life saving!! Hoping Boron can actually help me, I have severe weight loss despite eating well. Tried many practitioner protocols to treat methane SIBO, yeast etc but still lose weight, down 40lbs skinny, underweight, difficult to walk!! My testosterone is on the low side, low libido, low side blood pressure, heart rate low at 60, adrenal daytime cortisol low. If all of these can be boosted maybe I can absorb food better and head towards being big &strong again!! Poisoned by Big Pharma Drs with Naproxen I never needed, led to h pylori took antibiotics/PPIs, PPIs were weakening my whole digestive system!!
Start with b1...100 mg ,along with nutritional yeast 1 spoon and magnesium 500 and vit d...5000..and b complex . gradually up b1 by 1000 mg
I have rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. I've only been using ionized boron for a few days but I can without a doubt feel the difference. My allergies to milk and soy are more pronounced than before because the boron has been helping my inflammation so much. I'm only using a few drops a day but it's helped me so much.
Did you use a supplement?
boron helping your inflammation has made your allergies worse?
What sort of boran are you using thanks
@@Will-sv2hl if you’re always inflamed it’s hard to tell if any particular thing is making it worse so she’s saying that when she got relief through boron, then she was able to notice the change when certain foods were consumed
While struggling with sugar addiction, I had no idea why I had such a craving for dates specifically when I was doing carnivore. Very interesting.

Look you've set me off now and I'm on Keto 😂
Dates and peanut cravings are crazyyy.
Interesting interesting ! My five cents , if people who have trouble with dairy could try milk from Jersey cows . It have saved a lot of dairy lovers who thought they were lactose intolerant.
Is pasteurized jersey milk a2 non homogenized still ok?
@@manuwellington9079 Yes. It should be fine . That is what i buy myself. Lightly pasteurized unhomogenized full fat Milk from grazing jersey cows.
can you explain why ? I have no idea
@@undefinednull5749 I think it has to do with that milk having A2 protein (and it's something to do with casein also), rather than A1 protein. Unfortunately, A1 protein (beta casein) is much more common in typical milk, from cows. Some people do goat milk dairy, to get A2 protein rather than A1 protein. Others seek out the milk products (such as yogurt) from particular breeds or types of cows, in order to get A2 and avoid A1.
I thought this said the importance of Bourbon… I was thinking finally Paul is right!

I get my boron by buying 5 # of borax from pro supply outlet and adding one teaspoon of it to one quart of water, I take a swig (shot or shot a half) both morning and night. It definitely helps with the capillary spider webbing on the inside of the arches of your feet.
Please read the research by. Dr. Rex Newnham and Dr. Jorge Flechas, MD on Boron. Also the increase in estrogen is the healthy metabolite of estrogen called estriol, NOT estradiol.
I love dates, raisins & prunes but rarely eat them now because of the sugar content. I’m not diabetic but still don’t want to overload my system with sugar which is so bad for health. I have knee pain (mid 60s) so may try boron supplements to see if it helps.
Shout out to Dr. Ken Berry: Keto Chow Daily Minerals has 2.7 mg boron.
Yes, excellent
opinion on quark/curd and non-homogenized whole milk? my diet includes only meat, eggs, some fruits, berries and dairy.
1 teaspoon of Borax in a liter of water to make a solution from which you drink 2 - 4 oz, 2-3 times a day. Totally safe, I’ve been doing that for years.

I spend 8 hours a day in the sun multiple days a week. I also have low D levels as evidence by annual testing. I take 5-100000 IU daily with 50000 IU weekly as prescribed by MD. I’m still only sitting at 53 on my D lab test. I’m going to try low dose boron now to see if there’s a remarkable bump as I’ve been supplementing for years with a very good base line and labs data
Update please!
Yes-please update 🤍
I could not raise my vitamin D for the past 3 years. I started supplementing with 10 mg of Boron daily and Boom jumped it up. My doctor said Wow, what are you doing differently. He wasn't aware that Boron helps retain vitamin D.
It can be toxic to take so much Vit D. Can lead to loss of calcium. Maybe quit the D and try another path.
@winefarmer1 what did it jump to?
I'm curious to know what dr.Saladino thinks about eating onions & garlic with meat? Is it a no-no? I just love the flavor 😋
Why not a good thing? Can you elaborate please?
I was supplementing 9mg per day boron and noticed it increased my hairloss. Apparently diffuse hair shedding/thinning is a symptom of too much boron. Careful with your dosing lads, especially if you're already prone to hair loss.
Boron can lower se hormone binding globulin, which frees up test, but it also frees up DHT to destroy your follicles.
I think it's also great for Macrophage production as well
10:15 Studies & Dosages 👌
Are there any studies on boron and your kidneys?
Sally Fallon Morrell President of Weston a Price said this about 10 years ago. Make a base of 1 tsp BORAX to 1 quart of water. Add 1 tsp of this mixture to cup of water every single morning for your bones and joints.
Dr. S! Can you talk about mixing food groups? Do you think that eating carbohydrates with fat and protein is bad? Can elevated blood sugar post-prandial combined with fat and protein aid in glycated transporter proteins and cause macrophage activation?
There is quite a bit on ostesporosis and boron and bone density-so maybe search those studies for more info...
But should you cycle boron? is neccesary to cycle for a few weeks then off for 2 weeks ? Or u can take it all the time?
That's absolute crap I've been taking boron daily for well over a decade using borax and sometimes tablets. As a result I have no aches or pains and I'm in my mid seventies. All forms of arthritis are merely a boron deficiency. Look around you and look at the number of people limping and those needing hip replacement and knee replacement, all caused by boron deficiency. Read on Google ' the borax conspiracy ' by Walter last. Also a RUclips video by dr. Jorge flechas on boron. Boron is a powerful anti fungal also.
I know that the bioavailability of many nutrients from Nuts, legumes, and grains is quiet low compared to animal products, but have you done any research regarding soaking, sprouting, and fermenting of these vegetables? From what I have read, a lot of the antinutrients are close to nullified with the right processes.
If you don't suffer from an extreme gut inflammation that tolerates zero fiber, you have no reason to not include sprouts and ferments. Hippocrates the ancient doctor recommended them and and ive seen many people build muscle on them. But those carnivore guys are extremists, almost cult-like. So they would never admit soaked or sprouted legumes are good for us....
Thank you, I do have a Boron supplement and enjoyed your video
What supplement do you use
If inhibiting a certain enzyme is good, what is the purpose of that enzyme in the first place? What evolutionary advantage did it confer?
andrenaline is good. having high amounts constantly isn't. i suppose it might not be a clear cut good bad label.

Anyone got any good details on cycling this stuff? The papers all say 3-13mg daily but nothing on down time,thanks!
You must take magnesium to get good absorbtion of Vit D. I take it in the forms of bis(glycinate) and malate. You said 3-6 grams of boron. I know you misspoke. You meant 3-6 milligrams.
My insane cravings for raisins all makes sense now
Fish roe is by far the best natural source of boron. Caviar easily contains >100mg in a few hundred grams.
Hey. I am trying carnivore and this boron stuff makes me wonder. I don't want to eat bones so I was thinking of introducing avocados, but if fish roe contains boron I will try that. Any sources for this? Thank you
What are your thoughts on borax? Would like to hear

Chelate vs citrate. Which is better and dosage for each? Can’t find much info on chelate.
My recent soil test resulted in my soils showing low levels of Boron. The results are for my lawn. Should I add Boron. I live in the North East and according my research it said soils in the NorthEast are both hightly acidic and have low levels of boron my default
what is the difference between Borax and boric acid ?
Boron seems to be a very complex mineral. The ideal situation is a permanent effect of SHBG levels dropping while increasing free testosterone. However, that case study that reported increase in SHBG levels is worrisome because it means it's not going to have the same effect on everyone. In addition, the effect is has on the increase of DHT is probably the biggest red flag to watch out for because constant increase in DHT can lead to prostatic hyperplasia.
So now the question becomes, what is the perfect dosage? The only way to find out is to experiment with that dose range of 3-10mg/day. But one would have to constantly be getting their blood work done and have to be on pins and needles to see the results because at the end of the day that prostatic hyperplasia may lead to more problems down the road in your 60s, 70s or even 80s.
On two german websites (which I’m for some reason not allowed to post here because my comment keeps getting deleted right away by RUclips…) I found that boron is abundant in oysters (100-400 mg per 100 g ! ) and herring roe, plant foods contain on average only around 0,1-7 mg per 100 g.
@@markrodriguez8202 wtf, vit D is not illegal
It is perfectly safe to ingest BORAX from the box. Dose judiciously.
Yes, I take very low amounts of borax and water. I just started and I’m trying to get more information on how much to take. I don’t want to overdo it. I am taking very little very little.

Is Sodium Borate a safe form of Boron? I read somewhere it could be dangerous. If it is, what boron type is more safe to take?

How do you feel about the high level of oxalates in dates? My wife and I on animal based 30 recently started staying away from them for this reason.
If you're eating calcium rich foods the mop up the oxalates.
@@alexanderohanlon8825 I wish it was that simple. I belong to a low oxalate FB group led by a researcher and other nutritionists like Sally K Norton. Not all the oxalates get bound to calcium and it depends on when the calcium is taken and what type it is. The body sends calcium to the sites of inflammation as a triage. If it is bound with oxalates, it also sends the shards of oxalate crystals bound to the calcium. Think kidney stones. For me as a 60 year old woman oxalates increase my joint pain.
@@Darnabymom Okay I my bad I should have elaborated further, oxalates come in 2 forms soluble and insoluble with the former being the issue. So if you consume calcium rich foods at the same time as the oxilate rich foods the oxalates bind the calcium and won't pass through the enterocytes of the gut... But! If you're super anxious on oxalates go with pinapple, now there's nothing out there saying it's high in boron but! There are studies showing it consumes huge amounts from the soil.
@@alexanderohanlon8825 Thank you this is very helpful.
Why wouldn’t you just supplement with it ? The body gets rid of excess boron when magnesium levels ate normal.
