      @b1 yes i mean borax the cleaner lol. you can go actual boron supplements but borax cleaner is the ability to buy a massive amount at dirt cheap price, and appears to be 100% safe as well. 100 mule team is the known brand in the USA

              The late Ted from Bangkok counseled many to take Boron a few days a week, and to take short breaks from it regularly. Pretty sure most of his Boron info is still posted at the Earth Clinic forum.

              Edit: here's some of Ted's info:
              https://www.earthclinic.com/search.php?search=Boron&r=&ps=1&rfs=1&qa=1&ts=1

              Here's an interesting post:
              How Borax Can Help Alleviate Arthritis Symptoms and More
              snip:
              *Borax is a natural remedy that can effectively treat various types of arthritis and joint problems. It's a low-cost and straightforward solution that can help alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and more.

              Borax is a mineral compound used for medicinal purposes for centuries. It contains boron, which has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making it an effective natural remedy for arthritis.*

              Here's an old archived Health and Longevity newsletter article titled Boron for Better Bones

                Take the following with a grain of salt as commercial interests may be involved, or simply not properly researched for all i know ...

                A supposedly more therapeutic form of Boron, Calcium Fructoborate, CaFB, just one of many sugar borates.

                • Calcium Fructoborate: a novel nutrient for Bone & Joints
                • Calcium Fructoborate Kills Breast Cancer Cells​
                • Calcium Fructoborate Helps Symptoms of Osteoarthritis
                • The Treatment of Osteoporosis with Calcium Fructoborate
                • Calcium Fructoborate Lowers Inflammatory Nitric Oxide and IL-6.
                • Calcium Fructoborate Quiets Inflammatory Neutrophils
                • Calcium Fructoborate as an Antioxidant
                • Calcium Fructoborate Promotes Hormone Balance

                I've seen it relatively inexpensive in the past at Amazon by searching directly for Calcium Fructoborate or using a trademark name "Fruitex-B".

                Edit:

                Dr Hesslink (PDF):
                The Fructoborates: part of a family of naturally ocurring sugar complexes, biochemistry, physiology, and impact on human health - review (definitely read the introduction page at the very least)

                • Index of Dr Hesslinks other Boron articles.
                • I guess calcium is not necessary for a fructoborate to exist, and that there are multiple types, then there are also glucoborates.

                Edit: i know i can give @Amazoniac credit for some or most of these links. An interesting topic imo, will revisit.

                  On Amazon I can only find Calcium magnesium with boron. 😠
                  It may be because I'm not in USA.

                    Meaning, you cannot find any form of Boron that doesn't include the additional minerals, or were you specifically searching for CaFB?

                        When I look up calcium fructoborate and the branded one. I can find other boron supplements though.

                          Raisins are pretty good sources of boron averaging about 2mg/100mg. If you can find low PUFA ,sun dried ones. Should be good !

                          Raisins also have benefits on intestines, increasing transit speed and SCFA in the stool.
                          125g raisins/day decreased the transit time from 42h to 28h! That's a huge benefit.
                          I notice lessened constipation from raisins as well.

                          "Both sun-dried raisins and cream of tartar appear to be good stool softeners and to shorten intestinal transit time, although the fibre in sun-dried raisins has the added benefit of increasing faecal weight. Both sun-dried raisins and cream of tartar modulate the composition of faecal bile acids and SCFA in a way that has potential health benefits."

                            Boron lowers PTH and cortisol, while increasing vitamin D and osteocalcin in this animal study.
                            Osteocalcin is anabolic and androgenic . Just do quick search on it , it has some interesting pro-metabolic properties.

                              This is probably the best post on boron (by Travis) .
                              I agree with the hypothesis that arthritis might be of fungal origin and that borons main effect is anti-fungal. Not only that it also protects against fungal toxins like aflatoxin (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0946672X23000032)
                              It's wild that Travis took gram -amounts of boron. It is inherently non toxic , apparently less toxic than salt.

                                Travis also spoke about boron as a 'natural fluoride's antidote' :

                                "This [catechol‐O‐methyltransferase] enzyme can be safely inhibited with epicatechin gallate, found in high concentrations in green tea. However, green tea also has fluoride; this fact would make me add fluoride's natural antidote—boron—to the tea."

                                  I cant find any borax supplements unless you mean the cleaning / slime making stuff

                                  Indeed, to second @noseleather borax 'for cleaning' is good stuff. (modulo 'slime making' probably .lol)

                                  Anecdotally, I add Borax powder to wash my linens (and light-colored clothes). This is my only 'supplement' with Borax. Idealabs hair tests showed a good load of boron. This was my only change in boron consumption. (I used to and I do eat quite a bit of raisins too.)
