Abstract

Trace elements despite being needed in extremely small amounts, trace elements are essential for many body’s physiological processes. The relevance of trace elements in human nutrition is examined in this abstract, which also conclude their functions in immunological response, hormone production, enzyme activity, and tissue structure maintenance. It is crucial to maintain a balanced intake of these nutrients since deficiencies or excesses of them might have negative effects on one's health. People can get these trace elements—which are necessary for general health—by eating a varied and nourishing diet. The complex functions that trace elements play in human health are still being uncovered by ongoing research, which emphasises how important it is to comprehend and maximise their presence in our diets. To provide accessibility to essential micronutrients and to promote optimal health, trace elements must be included in dietary recommendations.
