Manganese - Don't Ignore The Key Functions of This Mineral!

Think you might be gluten sensitive? Take the quiz: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/glu... Like many minerals, manganese (MN) is a cofactor for many enzymes. One, in particular, is superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is a part of your body’s antioxidant defense system. Thus, MN is needed to help SOD neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and prevent oxidative stress. Without it, the aging process speeds up and increases your risk for disease. Other enzymes that manganese supports are involved in a variety of vital functions, which include: Energy production Cholesterol metabolism Growth and development Immune response Digestion Reproduction Bone and connective tissue growth Brain development Blood clotting Nervous system signaling So while your body only needs trace amounts of MN to support all these functions, a deficiency can have serious consequences.
