As it says in the title, I have a question regarding boron.
Disodium Tetraborate for example is used in supplements, and in chemicals such as fertilizers and cleaners etc.
Is it the quantity that you consume that makes it toxic?
In: 1
Toxicity is all about dosage. Water can be toxic in high enough amounts, but at the same time it is a requirement for life.
Boron is known to be an essential nutrient for plants. It is speculated to have some essential role in animals but no one knows for sure, and even if so the required daily intake would be very small. Its toxicity is similar to that of table salt.
