                                While a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) has not been established for boron due to insufficient data, some limited research suggests that low intakes might have effects on human health. It is important to distinguish between the well-established functions of boron in plants and its more debated role in human physiology. This article explores what are the signs of boron deficiency in humans and clarifies the difference between confirmed and hypothesized effects.
