has no biological role but is said to stimulate the metabolism.
The British Pharmaceutical Codex from 1907 indicates that cerium

pyrosis, and vomiting (especially "vomiting of pregnancy") in
doses of 0.05-0.3 g ("1 to 5 grains") and that cerium salts have
pharmacological properties similar to those of bismuth. The
oxalate ["cerii oxalas", Ce2(C2O4)3.9H2O] was also used for
"chronic vomiting, especially the vomiting of pregnancy." The
doses were 0.6 g, three times a day for several days if
necessary. Levels in humans How much cerium is in your body?
