Manganese Glycinate
Manganese Glycinate is a mineral supplement used to prevent and treat low amounts of manganese in the blood. It is easily absorbed by the body and is usually well-tolerated. Manganese is an essential mineral that plays a role in many bodily functions, including bone health, blood sugar regulation, and wound healing. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.
There are no specific case studies regarding the benefits of Manganese Glycinate, but studies have shown that manganese supplementation can improve bone density in postmenopausal women and may help reduce inflammation in people with osteoarthritis.
The recommended dosage of Manganese Glycinate varies depending on age and gender. The recommended daily intake for adults is 2.3 mg for men and 1.8 mg for women.
Potential side effects of Manganese Glycinate include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach upset. High doses of manganese can be toxic and may cause neurological symptoms such as tremors, muscle spasms, and seizures.
