Angstrom Minerals - Cobalt 200ppm 8 fl oz (AMCOB)

Description of Angstrom Minerals - Cobalt 200ppm 8 fl oz

Cobalt is an essential mineral, although the body only needs a small amount. It is mainly stored in red blood cells, with lesser amounts in the kidney, liver, pancreas and spleen.

Research indicates that cobalt helps with the repair of the myelin sheath, increases the effectiveness of glucose transport from the blood into body cells (pernicious anemia), and the building of red blood cells (increases the assimilation of iron).

Cobalt is an important agent of vitamin B-12 because it increases the body’s ability to absorb this essential vitamin. Cobalt stimulates many enzymes of the body and normalizes the performance of other body cells.

Because of its low absorption rate and high excretion rate, cobalt toxicity is not common, but excess can lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland.
