Description

Trace elements are chemical elements, also called micronutrients, that are essential for biological processes but are needed in very small amounts. They are critical for functions like metabolism, enzyme activity, and immune response, and can be obtained from diet or intravenous therapy. Examples include iron, zinc, copper, and selenium, and a deficiency or excess can lead to health problems.

Key clinical applications

• Zinc: Essential for immune system function, wound healing, cell growth, and the senses of taste and smell.
• Copper: Necessary for red blood cell formation, iron absorption, and maintaining healthy nerve cells, blood vessels, and immune function.
• Manganese: Plays a role in metabolism (carbohydrate, protein, and cholesterol), bone formation, and acts as an antioxidant.
• Selenium: A powerful antioxidant that supports thyroid function, reproduction, and immune health.
