What is Boron powder?
Boron is a non-metallic element that occurs in several allotropes. Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5. In its crystalline form, it is a brittle, dark, lustrous metalloid; in its amorphous form, it is a brown powder. It is rarely found in nature, normally occurring as borates or orthoboric acid (the abundance of Boron in the earth's crust is ten ppm, the principal ore being borax, Na₂B₄O₇.xH₂O). Amorphous Boron is the more common allotrope and exists as a dark powder that is unreactive towards water, oxygen, acids, and alkalis. Mainly used in the production of borax, boric acid, and boron compounds, the element is used in metallurgy, building materials, machinery, electrical appliances, the chemical industry, light wool, nuclear industry, medicine, agriculture, and other important raw materials.
What is the difference between boron and borax?
The key difference between Boron and borax is that Boron is a chemical element, whereas borax is a chemical compound. Moreover, borax is a compound containing Boron, a mineral. Although the names boron and borax sound nearly similar, they differ according to their chemical nature. Boron in foods and beverages isn't harmful. But Boron can cause harm if a person accidentally swallows cleaning products or pesticides that contain certain forms of Boron, such as borax (sodium borate) or boric acid. The symptoms of too much Boron include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, headaches, and convulsions.
Who Cannot take boron?
If you have a history of estrogen-sensitive cancer or are on hormonal therapy, avoid taking high amounts of Boron. In addition, Boron is eliminated primarily through the kidneys, so people with kidney disease or problems with kidney function should avoid it. Hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Boron might act like estrogen. Avoid supplemental Boron or high amounts of Boron from foods if you have any condition that estrogen might make worse. Boron is key to the function of various reproductive cycles, including hormones like testosterone. It has significantly increased testosterone in men after only one week. It also plays a role in Vitamin D retention, essential for testosterone. Boron has even been seen to increase testosterone in women.
