Manganese (as amino acid chelate) Benefits, Uses & Why It Matters | AG1

Manganese (as amino acid chelate) Facts

Manganese (as amino acid chelate) Facts

Manganese is an essential trace mineral naturally found in whole grains, nuts, leafy vegetables, and tea. It acts as a cofactor for many enzymes and is involved in metabolism, bone formation, and immune health. The human body requires only small amounts but cannot produce it on its own.

Key Benefits of Manganese (as amino acid chelate):

Manganese contributes to normal energy metabolism by serving as a cofactor for enzymes involved in nutrient processing.
Acts as a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes, including manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), which help maintain normal cellular oxidative balance.
Contributes to connective tissue formation.
Contributes to normal bone structure, working alongside nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D.

Why it Matters:

U.S. adults consume on average 2.1 mg/day (men) and 1.6 mg/day (women); the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 2.3 mg/day for men and 1.8 mg/day for women ¹
Manganese deficiency might affect carbohydrate metabolism ¹
