Cobalt

Cobalt - an element of great importance

It is an element belonging to the ferrous group, which enters the human body mainly through food. It is naturally found in meat, milk, corn, lettuce, cereal grains, spinach, cabbage and other green vegetables. It is worth noting at the same time that the bioavailability of this mineral in food is low, at about 10%. For this reason, cobalt can also be supplemented, especially in the case of an unbalanced diet or other problems associated with the absorption of this micronutrient.

Interestingly, cobalt is an element found in the body in trace amounts. It is stored primarily in the liver, spleen, muscles, kidneys, pancreas and bones. Its excesses are excreted with urine.

Despite its negligible presence in the human body, cobalt has extremely important functions in the body, primarily related to its presence in vitamin B12. It is its central atom.

Cobalt - application 

There are many processes that cobalt benefits. First of all, together with vitamin B12, it contributes to the proper functioning of the circulatory, nervous and digestive systems. Together they are involved in erythropoiesis that allows the multiplication and division of red blood cells.

Cobalt in the body is also found in several enzymes. It has functions in the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins and the production of folic acid. It also exhibits anti-cancer activities and has the effect of inhibiting their development. Its intake is one of the ways to support the natural treatment of cancer. We encourage you to read the research on this topic.

These are not all the beneficial properties of this micronutrient. Cobalt is an element that also regulates appetite, supports the regenerative processes of the skin and positively affects the immune system. Its supplementation is recommended for conditions such as disorders of blood circulation in the lower extremities, varicose veins, phlebitis, food stasis, ulcers, for memory disorders, for swelling and inflammation of joints, as well as to alleviate symptoms of menopause and menstrual pain.

Cobalt in the body - signs of deficiency

One of the signs of cobalt deficiency in the body is vitamin B12 deficiencies, as well as disorders related to the blood clotting process. Insufficient supplies of this element manifest themselves both physically and mentally. They manifest themselves in general weakness, apathy, underweight, pale skin, irritability, as well as problems with vision and balance.

Cobalt is an element that people on a plant-based diet are particularly prone to deficiencies. In this case, its careful supplementation is recommended to make up for any possible deficiencies.

Cobalt vs. other micronutrients

Cobalt is an element that is a key ingredient in Dr. Podbielski's TP2 formula. It naturally supports the body's immunity and contributes to a more effective fight against cancer. It reveals its full potential in cooperation with other beneficial micronutrients such as zinc, magnesium, copper and the element iron, which are commonly referred to as the "minerals of life."

For this reason, we also encourage you to read our other articles and see how the action of zinc and the action of magnesium can positively affect your health. We have also prepared materials describing the use of copper and iron, which present the full beneficial properties of the elements in question.
