From the article "Nothing Boring About Boron"

The full article is found here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/ - this is just the abstract.

The trace mineral boron is a micronutrient with diverse and vitally important roles in metabolism that render it necessary for plant, animal, and human health, and as recent research suggests, possibly for the evolution of life on Earth. As the current article shows, boron has been proven to be an important trace mineral because it

(1) is essential for the growth and maintenance of bone;

(2) greatly improves wound healing;

(3) beneficially impacts the body’s use of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D;

(4) boosts magnesium absorption;

(5) reduces levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α);

(6) raises levels of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase;

(7) protects against pesticide-induced oxidative stress and heavy-metal toxicity;

(8) improves the brains electrical activity, cognitive performance, and short-term memory for elders;

(9) influences the formation and activity of key biomolecules, such as S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺);

(10) has demonstrated preventive and therapeutic effects in a number of cancers, such as prostate, cervical, and lung cancers, and multiple and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma;

(11) may help ameliorate the adverse effects of traditional chemotherapeutic agents. In none of the numerous studies conducted to date, however, do boron’s beneficial effects appear at intakes > 3 mg/d.

No estimated average requirements (EARs) or dietary reference intakes (DRIs) have been set for boron—only an upper intake level (UL) of 20 mg/d for individuals aged ≥ 18 y. The absence of studies showing harm in conjunction with the substantial number of articles showing benefits support the consideration of boron supplementation of 3 mg/d for any individual who is consuming a diet lacking in fruits and vegetables or who is at risk for or has osteopenia; osteoporosis; osteoarthritis (OA); or breast, prostate, or lung cancer.

Here is something else we came across recently regarding Boron and heavy metal toxicity from aluminium from https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/caustic-commentary-summer-2024/#gsc.tab=0

Aluminium Detox and Boron 

Each age has its toxins. During the nineteenth century, the main toxin was arsenic (used in medicines, wallpaper, cosmetics and metal alloys); in the twentieth century it was mercury (used in medicines, amalgam fillings and vac­cines). Today the primary toxin has to be aluminum, used in vaccinations, packaging and occurring at very high lev­els in infant formula, particularly in prescription formulas designed for infants with allergies and intolerance. The list of aluminum’s toxic effects is a long one: desquamative interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, granulomas, granulomatosis and fibrosis, toxic myocarditis, thrombosis and ischemic stroke, granulomatous enteritis, Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, anemia, Al­zheimer’s disease, dementia, sclerosis, autism, macrophagic myofasciitis, osteomalacia, oligospermia and infertility, hepatorenal disease, breast cancer and cyst, pancreatitis, pancreatic necrosis and diabetes mellitus. One good antidote to aluminum toxicity is boron (Toxics. 2022 Aug; 10(8): 428), which helps remove aluminum from the body and protects against aluminum-induced damage.
