![]() And I think it’s helped.īut this is the thing. ![]() So I started eating about two tablespoonfuls a day. The food with the highest amount of boron is raisins. So I decided if I wanted to up my boron, I would do it with food. Boron is a trace mineral you need, but no one knows how much you really need. ![]() Typically, the suggestion was made without being able to tell you how much to take or why it even helps.
