@baymax Sir, Which studies have shown that trace elements in meteorites are beneficial to human health?

Currently, there is no conclusive evidence to demonstrate that trace elements in meteorites are beneficial to human health. However, some studies have suggested that antioxidant trace elements in meteorites, such as selenium and strontium, may have positive effects on human health. These trace elements may enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body, inhibit human lipid peroxidation reactions, thereby retarding cell aging, eliminating age-related macular degeneration, preventing arteriosclerosis, and prolonging lifespan.

In addition, some meteorites contain rich rare trace elements, such as strontium, nickel, copper, etc., which may be beneficial to human health. For example, strontium in meteorites is considered to enhance bone density, prevent the formation of osteoclasts, repair cartilage tissue, and eliminate bone spurs. However, the content of these trace elements in meteorites is usually low, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove their benefits for human health.

It should be noted that these research results are only preliminary explorations and further scientific research and experiments are needed to confirm the impact of trace elements in meteorites on human health. At the same time, when handling and processing meteorites, attention should be paid to their potential radioactive risks and other potential health risks.
