Manganese is a trace mineral that acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone formation, metabolism, and antioxidant defense.
Why it’s used
Taken to meet daily manganese requirements, generally as part of a general multivitamin-mineral formulation rather than for a specific targeted effect.
What the evidence says
NIH ODS describes manganese as essential, with deficiency rarely observed since it is present in many common foods. There is limited controlled trial evidence examining benefits of manganese supplementation above dietary levels in the general population.
Dose studied
1.8–11 mg — adult adequate intake up to tolerable upper intake level, per NIH ODS.
Context
Adult adequate intake levels are set around 1.8 to 2.3 mg per day, with a tolerable upper intake level of 11 mg per day.
