Somebody sent me a promo that suggests that the body needs trace amount of the
rare and heavy element called Indium.
Does Indium have any good effect or is it at all needed by the body?

Highly unlikely. I could not find studies on the health benefits of
indium
What type of Indium is being suggested? Indium Sulphate? Indium
Phosphide? Indium Trichloride? Indium Arsenide?Like all substances, it depends on the form being taken, Indium can be
highly toxic or non-toxic. People handling Indium Trichloride are
required to wear gloves, goggles and a respirator mask to avoid
inhalation, yet pure Indium requires no precautions.Indium's main uses are in electronic circuits and nuclear medicine.
The mineral is not found in food or water, so I would be hesitant
about trying something that does not form part of the normal food
chain.Kev.
