Bromine
Bromine: The typical daily dietary intake of bromine is 2 to 8 mg.
Foods high in bromine are grains, nuts and fish. Bromine is normally
ingested as the bromide ion which has a low degree of toxicity; thus
bromine is not of toxicological concern in nutrition. Limited findings
suggest that bromide may be nutritionally beneficial; (e.g., insomnia
exhibited by some hemodialysis patients has been associated with bromide
deficiency). |
