Manganese
Trace mineral and cofactor for antioxidant enzymes (SOD), bone metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism. Deficiency is rare but possible in very restrictive diets.
💡 Absorption: Well absorbed from diet. Supplementation is rarely necessary. Tea and whole grains are good sources.
⚠️ Caution: UL: 11mg/day. Excess is neurotoxic (manganism). Caution in liver disease that impairs excretion.
