Abstract
Three new elements (nickel, vanadium, and silicon) have been found essential and two (fluorine and tin) possibly essential for animals. To date, these elements have not been shown essential for man. However, from animal data, it seems probable that they have an essential function in human nutrition and metabolism.Keywords
