Germanium
Germanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon. Germanium has five naturally occurring isotopes ranging in atomic mass number from 70 to 76. It forms a large number of organometallic compounds, including tetraethylgermane and isobutylgermane. Germanium is found in many foods, some of which are white cabbage, soft-necked garlic, garlic, and tea. Germanium is not an essential element. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. Its acute toxicity is low. Germanium-containing dietary supplements became popular in the 1970s in Japan and later in other countries, as elixirs for certain diseases (e.g., cancer and AIDS). However, at least 31 reported human cases linked prolonged intake of germanium products with renal failure and even death.
