How is boron toxic, yet it can be supplemented?

205 views

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?

There’s a famous saying that covers this: “*The dose makes the poison.*” Almost anything can be deadly if the dose is great enough, including water.
