Boron is one of the minerals that have been known to medicine for hundreds of years; lately it has been discovered that boron can slow down the prostate cancer and reduce the possibilities of it for men. The problem with boron is that it is highly toxic when in high doses, that is why many people avoid it. The question is though: how much boron should one take for prostate cancer?

The mainstream medical path focuses mostly on drugs and surgical procedures as a means of therapy for prostate cancer. Boron is not included in many supplements and is not given to sick people, or to those who have high chances of getting sick. Scientific research showed that boron is highly preventive. It can reduce the danger almost by 65%. The same studies show that 2mg of boron per day can enhance the rejuvenation of healthy cells and prevent the activation of T suppressors, which are mainly associated with autoimmune diseases. That means that 2-5 mg a day is enough so as to reduce the chances of prostate cancer.

Moreover, boron is associated with aging delay; it has the ability to block the enzymes that cause inflammation and severe pains. It is also very useful to those who have weak bones, as it can prevent the loss of calcium and magnesium. The most common way to intake boron is through foods; nuts and veggies are rich in boron. Prunes, grapes, pears and avocados contain enough quantities of boron. Raisins and nuts as well.

Today, though, there are some supplements that contain boron as well among other vitamins and minerals, so if you cannot eat something of the above you can easily take a supplement that contains everything you need. A normal dose of boron should be 3-5 mg per day.
