Well, it's really about context and most importantly relative to the meaning of "need."Yeah, but can't one argue that a lot of things aren't really needed ? Lol, I think the T boosting community is a separate niche. Actually the RDA is only 2mg, so that's likely being met via diet, and yeah, no need to supplement. One could say D-AA isn't needed, or DHEA if it isn't low, etc.
If we look at our usual suspects, ADEK, B1,B2,B3,etc,potassium, calcium,magnesium..these things are absolutely needed, regardless of context. Their amounts however depend on context. Boron however as a trace mineral is covered mostly by eating the usual "Peaty" foods and so in context "need" here denotes supplementation and or purposely seeking out high doses. Certainly we can do that with the other substances but regardless of context (other than something severely pathological) Peat is saying we don't need it [in the sense that we need to actively seek it out and/or take it in high doses].
