HW THE ELEMENT AFFECTS THE HUMAN BODY. IS IT NEEDED FOR THE BODY TO FUNCTION, CAN THE ELEMENT BE HAZARDOUS TO

HUMAN HEALTH, OR DOES THE ELEMENT HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE HUMAN BODY

Palladium serves primarily as a transport mechanism to enhance the uptake of lipoic acid, while also being theorized to have an effect on the electrical potential of the cell by sending electrons from the cell membrane to the nucleus and to the mitochondria. Palladium isn't good for the human body if ingested, and individuals are warned not to consume the metal. It will not be well absorbed and may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Palladium can also irritate the eyes or skin if it comes into contact with flesh. In liquid form the metal can cause burns on your skin.
