Minerals - Manganese

 

 
Description

This is a mineral element that occurs in very small amounts in body tissue. It activates many enzymes in the body and helps metabolize protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Manganese is needed for normal bone growth and structure and helps in the formation of cartilage and synovial fluid in joints. It acts as "food" for the healing of sprains, strains, and inflammation.

Manganese helps regulate blood sugar and aids in the formation of mother's milk. It is also important for reproduction and normal central nervous system function. Manganese is also important in the formation of thyroxine, the principal hormone of the thyroid gland.
