Borax MSDS sheet
This page was the response given to a woman who asked the question if there was
anything else in 20 mule team borax except
borax - sodium tetraborate decahydrate. The answer is no.
In shopping for borax powder one of the least expensive places I found was on
amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HLROBZK?psc=1
10 pounds for $18, buy two and it is free shipping.
See my page at borax for why you want to add a small amount of this to your diet every day.
