Supports Energy Production Manganese is an essential trace mineral involved in many key functions in the body. It plays a role in energy production, in normal bone formation and development, and in the synthesis of many vital cellular biochemicals such as collagen, prothrombin, urea, mucopolysaccharides, fatty acids and proteins. In addition, manganese is a cofactor for superoxide dismutase, one of the body's main protective antioxidant systems. This manganese is specially bonded (chelated) with amino acids to protect mineral value and enhance assimilation. KEY FEATURES -
Important for energy production. -
Reduces pain, associated with arthritis. -
Necessary for bone health. -
Prevents osteoporosis. -
Helps to reduce symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome. -
Prevents muscle disorders. -
May help with seizure disorders (epilepsy). People with rheumatoid arthritis tend to have low levels of superoxide dismutase. In addition, a few studies of people with arthritis suggest that the combination of manganese supplementation taken along with glucosamine and chondroitin can reduce pain associated with the condition.
Manganese and other trace elements are necessary for bone health. Therefore, many experts feel that appropriate balance and intake of manganese and these other nutrients may play a role in preserving bone density and preventing osteoporosis.
Manganese can ease the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Women who eat small amounts of manganese (levels below the recommended daily amount) experience greater mood swings and cramping pain just prior to their periods than women who eat normal to high amounts of manganese.
Low levels of manganese have also been associated with muscle disorders that involve lack of coordination, irregular menstrual cycles, tinnitus, hearing loss, and poor milk production in lactating women. Several studies even suggest that manganese levels may be lower in people with seizure disorders.
