Медьявляется необходимым микроэлементом для жизнедеятельности человеческого организма. Большая ее часть находится в печени, головном мозгу, сердце, почках и скелетных мышцах. Медьспособствует образованию коллагена, всасыванию железа и играет важную роль в производстве энергии.
Проще говоря, цинк нужен для производства белков и ДНК, для роста и восстановления мышц, важен для правильного ощущения вкуса и запаха, способствует заживлению ран, помогает иммунной системе бороться с бактериями и вирусами, улучшает пищеварение, регулирует выработку гормонов.
Mn
Марганец - незаменимый металл для нашего организма. Он необходим для правильного функционирования иммунной, сердечно-сосудистой, половой, пищеварительной систем, он участвует в росте костей, свертывании крови, гемостазе и защите от активных видов кислорода.
На английском The basis of living systems are organogenic elements (C, H, O, N, P, S). Organogen number one is carbon (the content in the body is 21.15%). As the basis of the structure of all organic substances, O and H are carriers of the oxidizing and reducing properties of organic compounds. The ratio of O and H in biomolecules determines the tendency of these compounds to disproportionate and interact with water - the internal environment of living organisms. The remaining three organogens - N, P, S - are active centers of enzymes and are part of proteins - the basis of life. Organogens are characterized by the formation of water-soluble compounds, which contributes to their concentration in living organisms. Characteristic for organogens, as well as for some biometals (Fe, Mg, etc.), is the exceptional variety of bonds formed by them. This largely determines the diversity of biomolecules in living organisms.
The second group after organogens are the metals of life (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Co, Fe, Zn, Mo, Mn, V) and two non-metals (Cl and I). They are constantly contained in the human body, are part of enzymes, hormones and vitamins. Their task is to carry out vital processes in the body. However, some of them are used by the body as the structural basis of tissues, for example, Ca, Mg - the structural basis of bone tissue. Deficiency of vital elements leads to serious violations of vital processes. Impurity elements are elements that are constantly contained in the human and animal body in very small quantities. Their biological role is not sufficiently clarified or unknown.
The biological role of chemical elements in the body is extremely diverse. The main function of macronutrients is to build tissues, maintain a constant osmotic pressure, ionic, and acid-base homeostasis. Trace elements are involved in metabolism, reproduction processes, tissue respiration, neutralization of toxic substances, actively influence the processes of hematopoiesis, oxidation-reduction, etc.
If some ions of chemical elements are replaced by others with an increase in their activity, then this phenomenon is called synergism, and with inhibition of activity, antagonism (for example, for Na - Li is a synergist, and K is an antagonist).
Biogenic elements play an important role in plant life. Therefore, they have found wide application in agriculture. The addition of small amounts of microelements (B, Cu, Mg, Zn, Co, Mo) to the soil dramatically increases the yield of many crops. Trace elements, increasing the activity of enzymes in plants, promote the synthesis of proteins, vitamins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates. Some elements have a positive effect on photosynthesis, accelerated growth and development of plants, seed maturation. Trace elements are added to animal feed to increase their productivity.
K
Potassium plays a role in the functioning of the nervous system, muscle contraction, maintaining the body's water balance, maintaining normal blood pressure and blood sugar, in many biochemical reactions that ensure human life.
Na
Blood sodium regulates the volume of extracellular fluid, osmotic pressure. Na plays an important role in the human body. The element sodium is necessary for normal growth, contributes to the normal functioning of nerves and muscles, and helps to keep calcium and other minerals in the blood in a dissolved form.
Ca
Calcium is the most common mineral in the human body: in an adult it contains about 1-1.2 kg. About 99% of calcium is involved in the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth in a normal state.
Mg
Magnesium - has a beneficial effect on bone growth; normalizes heart rate, lowers blood pressure; regulates blood sugar levels; eliminates muscle cramps; reduces joint pain. Magnesium, acting in combination with calcium, is able to increase the mineral density of bone tissues.
F
Fluorine accumulates mainly in tooth enamel and bone tissues. This trace element is excreted from the body mainly by the kidneys. The main fluoride antagonists are magnesium and calcium. In turn, this substance inhibits the metabolism of iodine and promotes the absorption of iron.
Cl
Chlorine plays an important role in maintaining the COR, the osmotic balance of blood plasma, lymph, CSF and some tissues, the balance of water in the body, and is a component of gastric juice. Chlorine ions, along with sodium and potassium, form the membrane potential of cells and activate a number of enzymes.
Br
The content of bromine in the human body (body weight 70 kg) is 260 mg. Bromine is found in the blood, brain, liver, kidneys. Most of it is in the brain. In the pituitary gland (an appendage of the brain), there is 25–50 times more bromine than in the blood, and 15–20 times more than in the liver.
I
Iodine is one of the thirty most important trace elements in our body. The main role of iodine is in the synthesis of thyroid hormones of the thyroid gland - substances responsible for most metabolic processes. It is known that thyroid hormones consist of more than 65% iodine.
Cu
Copper is an essential trace element for the life of the human body. Most of it is found in the liver, brain, heart, kidneys and skeletal muscles. Copper promotes collagen formation, iron absorption and plays an important role in energy production.
Fe
Iron is one of the main components of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood throughout the body. And iron is involved in the process of reproduction of healthy red blood cells containing hemoglobin. Without iron, many processes in the body are impossible, including energy metabolism and DNA repair.
Zn
Simply put, zinc is needed for the production of proteins and DNA, for muscle growth and repair, is important for the proper sense of taste and smell, promotes wound healing, helps the immune system fight bacteria and viruses, improves digestion, and regulates hormone production.
Mn
Manganese is an essential metal for our body. It is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune, cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive systems, it is involved in bone growth, blood clotting, hemostasis and protection from reactive oxygen species.
