Abstract
Cobalt is a crucial trace element for the human body. It serves as an essentialcomponent of vitamin B12 and plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of amino acids andselect proteins within nerve cells, as well as in the synthesis of neurotransmitters vitalfor the proper functioning of the body. Both excess and deficiency of cobalt can havedetrimental effects on the human body. Notwithstanding the paramount significanceof cobalt as a trace element, comprehensive studies are necessary to evaluate its rolein physiological processes.
Keywords: cobalt, human health, trace element, vitamin B12, physiological processes
