Although some trace elements are considered non-essential to our existence, mounting evidence suggests that several of these may have positive effects on health when taken in supplement form. One supposedly ‘non-essential’ trace element that is currently causing a great deal of excitement in scientific circles is indium.
New research has found that indium helps improve the absorption of essential trace elements – such as copper, manganese, chromium, copper and zinc – in the body, thereby allowing them to perform their functions more efficiently. It has also been shown to have age-related benefits, including improving memory, increasing libido, keeping weight stable and regulating blood sugar levels.
