MANGANESE Is One of The Most Important Minerals in Human Nutrition.
Manganese is an activator of several essential enzyme systems specifically involved in protein and energy metabolism as well as in the formation of beneficial mucopolysaccharides. It is necessary for optimal health of bone and connective tissue, muscle growth and regeneration.
This essential mineral is also involved in vital insulin activation, cholesterol synthesis and in the active functioning of enzymes necessary in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, protein and nucleic acids (RNA & DNA). Manganese and Vitamin K work synergistically in the promotion of healthy blood clotting function.
Good food sources of Manganese include: Blueberries, Lettuce, Beans, Peanuts, Potatoes, Soy Beans, Sunflower Seeds, Wheat Flour and Whole Grains (Barley, Oats, Wheat). Other rich sources include: Brown Rice, Rice Bran, Walnuts, Wheat Bran and Wheat Germ.
Supplementation of Manganese is recommended because food value is dependant on rich soil content which unfortunately has been depleted due to modern farming and food processing methods. Also, for people on wheat-restricted and other restricted diets, Manganese deficiency is not common.
