In this supplement we are covering the systems supported, the benefits to be found and the whole food sources for Manganese.

Systems support and Benefits:

Blood, hepatic, immune, musculoskeletal, nervous, and reproductive systems. Manganese supports normal bone formation and promotes the formation and activation of certain enzymes, including those that metabolize reactive oxygen species, some of which are involved in carbohydrate, amino acid, and cholesterol metabolism. Manganese is also required for the detoxification of ammonia which is naturally produced in the body.

Food sources:

Almonds, beets, broccoli, brown rice, carrots, cloves, garbanzo beans, green peas, lima beans, liver, navy beans, nutritional yeast, peanuts, pecans, pineapple, pinto beans, raspberries, soybeans, spinach, sweet potatoes, walnuts, wheat germ, whole grains (esp. oats and rye).

Systems support and Benefits:

Cardiovascular, digestive, immune, nervous, reproductive, and skeletal systems. Supports normal blood pH balance, aids in enzyme activation, helps metabolize blood sugar and produce cortisone, supports healthy nerve and muscle function, and assists in forming bones and teeth. Many of the energy producing pathways require magnesium and it is a cofactor for enzymes involved in nucleic acid, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid synthesis. Glutathione, an important cellular antioxidant, requires magnesium for its synthesis. Magnesium is also involved in nerve signal transmission, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm.

Food sources:

Artichokes, black beans, broccoli, cashews, green beans, navy beans, pinto beans, pumpkin seeds, organ meats, seafood(halibut, salmon, shrimp), sesame seeds, soybeans, spinach, sunflower seeds, Swiss chard, tomatoes.
