It participates in the metabolism of suger, for the normal use of glucose, and in growth. Its activity occurs jointly with other substances that control the metabolism of insulin and of several enzymes, in the formation of fatty acids, cholesterol and in the genetic material of cells. 50 – 200 micro g < 5 micro g (< 2.5-10% SC) TinSn It has not been determined as essential for the organism although there are indications that it takes part in some biological reactions. It may be a fundamental element for the formation of some enzymes and hormones. There are indications of its need, but a recommendable or safe consumption has not been established < 5 micro g NickelNi It maintains the arterial pressure normalised, increases the action of insulin, has an antagonistic action against adrenaline and increases the blood fats. There are indications of its need, but a recommendable or safe consumption has not been established < 10 micro g VanadiumV It acts as an antioxidant agent, prevents heart attacks, improves the metabolism of iron, prevents tooth decay, inhibits the formation of cholesterol in the blood vessels, maintains the fat level in the blood. There are indications of its need, but a recommendable or safe consumption has not been established < 2.5 micro g SiliconSi Indispensable from the structural and functional point of view for the conjunctive tissue.
