== Nutritional supplement == Some believe that boron supplements are best taken orally. The recommended daily intake of 3 or 6mg with dinner five hours before bed. The supplement requires that insulin be activated for the greatest effectiveness. Boron works on the principle of ‘less is more.’<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Boron-HealthProfessional/ | title = Office of Dietary Supplements - Boron | website = ods.od.nih.gov|language=en | access-date = 2021-04-12}}</ref> A supplementation régime could go as follows: you might start by taking 9mg for a couple of days and then find on subsequent days that the boron no longer has the same effectiveness. You would then LOWER your intake to say, 6mg. per dinner meal five hours before bed. After a week or more at a lower intake, the body will begin to excrete excess boron.(you can tell by a change in odour) Lower to 3mg. per dinner meal five hours before bed. Once Boron is no longer effective at a low dose, then your supplementation would be complete.{{Citation needed}} A supplementation regime with boron can be repeated many times over, but not greatly increase the intake, as greatly increasing the intake will not have the intended effect.{{Citation needed}} Boron as a supplement is cheaply available off the shelf, and should not be supplemented along with other vitamins/minerals because the time is important to observe, and other supplements may be best taken at other times.{{Citation needed}} Other supplements may also interfere with the common benefit of taking boron, which would be better sleep.{{Citation needed}} A side effect of boron supplementation is better UV Ray absorption, meaning not burning as quickly in the sun.{{Citation needed}} A side effect of taking too much boron is an irritated gall bladder.{{Citation needed}} Boron may help those with chronic fatigue by improving sleep.{{Citation needed}}
