Manganese 5 mg Capsules (60 capsules)

What it is and what it is used for

Manganese is a trace mineral needed for normal bone development, collagen formation and connective tissue health. It also activates antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and takes part in energy metabolism.

How to use

One capsule daily with food, or as directed by your prescriber.

Be aware of

At 5 mg this is above the usual daily intake. Manganese accumulates in the body and can affect the nervous system in excess — do not exceed the dose, do not double up with a multivitamin containing manganese, and use long term only under your prescriber's direction. Not suitable if you have liver disease, as the liver clears manganese. Manganese reduces the absorption of some antibiotics; separate the doses by at least two hours.
