Manganese


Manganese is an essential trace mineral found in all forms of life.[1] It activates enzymes necessary for the proper function of several nutrients, including Biotin (Vitamin B7), Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Vitamin C.

Manganese is a constituent of certain metalloenzymes that act as antioxidants and enable proper liver function. Absorption takes place in the small intestine via a carrier-mediated mechanism.

In addition, Manganese is important in the formation of bone and is a catalyst in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol.

Absorption is generally low but appears to be higher in infants and young animals. Manganese accumulates in mitochondria-rich tissues such as liver and pancreas.
