Cobalt is present in the body as a trace element and has great biological importance. This element plays a particularly vital role in human health, as it is necessary for a number of vital processes. Cobalt is mainly found in vitamin B12, which has a special significance and plays a major role in the prevention of various medical conditions. This thesis discusses the role of cobalt in the body, its chemical compounds, and its applications in medicine.
