About such microcell as bromine, there is a lot of information for today. But nevertheless not everyone can explain, what is it and what advantage it bears to our organism. We will help you with it to understand this article, having told also about where it contains that can be from its shortage or a surplus. Also you learn the history of its detection.
Description and characteristic
Bromine is the thirty fifth element in Mendeleyev's table where it is designated as Br (this reduction from Latin "bromum"). It treats nonmetals.
Whether you know? In the second half of XIX — the beginning of the XX century bromine began to be used from insomnia and refatigue. You will be able to find a mention of it in the book "Adventures of the Gallant Soldier Shveyk" behind Yaroslav Hašek's authorship.
This element in far 1825 was opened by the chemist from France — Antawn Balar. It, influencing chlorine water solution which turned out after washing of ashes of seaweed, emitted the dark-brown and stinking liquid. Balar found out its density and temperature of boiling, learned important chemical properties and sent the received results to the Parisian Academy of Sciences. The chemist offered also the name to an element — "мурид" (in Latin of "muria" — "hydrochloric solution", "brine"). But in Academy nevertheless decided to give it other name — bromine (from Ancient Greek "βρῶμος" — "skunk", "smelly").
It will be interesting to learn about advantage of such minerals as: chlorine, manganese, potassium, magnesium, silicon and rubidium.
Natural sources of this element are waters of the seas and bitter lakes, salt brines, underground waters of oil and gas fields. Proceeding from functional classification, the element belongs to conditionally necessary for the person along with a pine forest, nickel, vanadium, silicon and fluorine. It is a part of gastric juice, affecting its acidity. The microcell well, practically for 100% is acquired — the truth, for this purpose presence of iodine, fluorine, chlorine, aluminum by all means is necessary. If exchange processes at you are normal, then the lack of these elements does not threaten you. Leaves an organism together with urine and then.
Important! This microcell is poisonous! Its 3 g can poison the person, and 35 g and above — to kill.
Functions and role in an organism
The organism of the adult contains about 200-300 mg of bromine. It is in blood, muscles, bones, kidneys, a hypophysis, a thyroid gland. Without this microcell full work in us would not take place as it:
- participates in fermental exchange, in particular — activates action of a peptin, lipase, etc.;
- prevents developing of an endemic craw (thyroid gland disease);
- regulates the central nervous system;
- influences sexual function, quantity of spermatozoa and their mobility.

Many consider that bromine oppressing affects male potency, however this assumption was not proved scientifically.
What contains bromine: products sources
It is possible to receive necessary quantity of this microcell through food. The products saturated with substance:
- wheat;
- barley grits;
- beans, haricot;
- nutlets — peanut, almonds, a filbert;
- pasta;
- milk;
- small fish.
Whether you know? For today medicines as a part of which there is this element, for fight against Alzheimer's disease and also cancer, AIDS and drug addiction are developed. But they are still tested.
Daily requirement and norm
In day the adult has enough only 3-8 mg of bromine. At the good balanced food you do not even notice how you sate the organism with poleznost including bromine.
Surplus and shortcoming
Surplus or deficiency of any of minerals — it is not really good. And at times it is even dangerous. Let's understand it.
Shortage
Main signs of deficiency:
- insomnia;
- the lowered hemoglobin;
- sexual frustration;
- the underestimated acidity of gastric juice;
- pregnant women have a threat of an abortion;
- children have a stop or delay of growth.
Surplus
If there is a lot of this microcell in an organism, it is shown in:
- red rash on skin;
- difficulties with falling asleep;
- loss of memory, sight, hearing;
- neurologic problems;
- disorders of digestion;
- predispositions to diseases of rhinitis, bronchitis.
Important! It is necessary to understand what only on some of these symptoms cannot be understood precisely what disturbs you. For production of the correct diagnosis surely address the doctor!
We hope that this article brought you benefit, now you know a lot of new about the 35th element of the periodic table. The main thing is to remember that bromine — the same microcell, necessary for an organism, as well as many others. But at the same time it is important not to forget that it is toxic. Therefore by all means you monitor its receipt and you do not bring to glut.
