Trace elements are essential compounds necessary for a wide variety biochemical reactions including oxidation-reduction, synthetic and metabolic processes. They are a required cofactor for many enzymes. Trace element deficiencies associated with a failure of those enzyme systems for which the element serves as a cofactor cause biological system failures and death. Trace element toxicity is associated with overdose, usually secondary to taking too much high dose trace element supplements.
