Manganese (100 capsules) by Seeking Health

Manganese by Seeking Health provides 10 mg of well-absorbed manganese as TRAACS Manganese Bisglycinate Chelate in each easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsule. Manganese is a trace mineral involved in a number of important processes within the body, such as metabolism, bone development, normal wound healing, and maintaining healthy antioxidant function. The name for manganese is thought to derive from the Greek word for ‘magic,’ which may be apt as manganese levels in excess or deficiency can have very important effects on the body.

Effects of manganese deficiency may include impaired growth or reproductive function, changes in blood mineral levels, or abnormal glucose processing and changes in carbohydrate or lipid metabolism. Because manganese is also a cofactor in certain enzymes, other processes may also be affected by manganese deficiency. However, most individuals consuming a normal diet are not at risk of manganese deficiency.

On the other hand, manganese supplementation and levels should be monitored closely. Consumption of high amounts of manganese can cause certain neurological or behavioral effects over time. We recommend that individuals who are interested in using Manganese consult with their healthcare provider prior to use and monitor their levels throughout supplementation.
