According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), glutaric aciduria type 2 (GA2) is a metabolic disorder requiring lifelong dietary management to avoid serious health complications. A central part of treatment involves a specialized diet that restricts fat and protein intake while emphasizing carbohydrates to manage symptoms effectively.

According to a study published on ResearchGate, high boron intake, particularly from boric acid ingestion, can significantly increase the urinary excretion of riboflavin (vitamin B2). This surprising nutritional interaction suggests that boron can deplete riboflavin levels in the body, which highlights a potential concern for those with high boron exposure or dietary supplementation.
