Liquid Manganese

IMPORTANCE: Manganese plays important roles in many bodily functions as a part of several enzymes. Among its many uses, Manganese is helpful in blood-clotting, bone mineralization, and possibly as an anti-oxidant. Deficiencies of this mineral have been associated with depressed growth of hair and nails, scaly dermatitis, weight loss, and impaired blood clotting. Some preliminary research suggests that supplementing with Manganese may help relieve the symptoms of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and PMS. An antioxidant nutrient; important in the blood breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy; necessary for the metabolism of Vitamin B-1 & Vitamin E; Activates various enzymes which are important for proper digestion & utilization of foods; is a catalyst in the breakdown of fats & cholesterol; helps nourish the nerves and brain; necessary for normal skeletal development; maintains sex hormone production. 

Deficiencies: In animals manganese deficiencies produce abnormalities in brain function, glucose tolerance, reproduction, and skeletal and cartilage formation. In humans, gross deficiencies have not been documented in free-living populations but deficiencies created in a metabolic unit suggest the mineral is important to maintain the integrity of the skin, bone and menstrual cycle, and in cholesterol metabolism. Certain population groups have been reported to have suboptimal status, including children with birth defects or on long-term total parenteral nutrition and patients with Perthes' disease, hip dislocations in Down's syndrome, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, non-trauma epilepsy, senile cataracts, acromegaly, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. May result in paralysis, convulsions, dizziness, ataxia, loss of hearing, digestive problems, blindness and deafness in infants.
