Beyond the Mind-Serum Trace Element Levels in Schizophrenic Patients: A Systematic Review
International journal of molecular sciences (2020) · Systematic review
This review includes the analysis of serum levels of the following trace elements: iron, nickel, molybdenum, phosphorus, lead, chromium, antimony, uranium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, copper, selenium, calcium, and manganese.
Meta-analysis shows modest SBP reduction of ~4 mmHg and DBP reduction of ~1.4 mmHg. Effect size is relatively small compared to pharmaceutical interventions. Studies primarily used aged garlic extract forms.
Limited direct RCT evidence. One controlled trial showed effects on metabolic parameters with molybdenum intervention. Conservative estimates given sparse human data and reliance on mechanism-based extrapolation from enzyme cofactor function.
