Description
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal formation of connective tissue, the maintenance of normal bones, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
How It Works
Manganese is the cofactor for mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, arginase, and the glycosyltransferases involved in proteoglycan synthesis.
Why This Form
Dosed to requirement with the accumulation ceiling published. Manganese accumulates in the basal ganglia at high chronic intake and the neurotoxicity literature is real. Several bone-health and greens products carry manganese well above need.
What we rejected: The elevated manganese levels common in multi-mineral and greens formulas.
The Research Behind It
Human requirement and status studies, reviewed alongside the chronic accumulation literature that determined our upper limit.
What The Evidence Does Not Show
The interesting fact about manganese is not what it does but how easily products oversupply it. This is a restraint argument.
