The crystalline, odourless element (S = sulphur, meaning "slow-burning") with its typical sulphur-yellow colour is essential for all organisms. Like nitrogen, it is a vital nutrient for humans, animals and plants, as both play important roles in biochemical processes. It is an essential component of amino acids and proteins, which are essential for the structure and function of cells. It plays an important role in metabolism, especially in detoxification and antioxidant protection. Sulphur is also contained in vitamins (such as biotin and thiamine) and enzymes, which are necessary for many biochemical processes.

Dear Sir or Madam, if I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a wealth of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. An excellent idea. Very inspiring and up-to-date. Keep it up, thank you!
