Manganese is a trace mineral that is essential for metabolism and antioxidant defense. Swanson Albion® Manganese supplement provides a highly bioavailable form of this important nutrient. Manganese is a little-known yet important dietary mineral. It's important for proper growth and health maintenance throughout life. Manganese functions as a coenzyme to facilitate digestion and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It also has roles in bone formation and muscular health. Manganese is also important for optimum functioning of SOD (superoxide dismutase), one of the body's primary antioxidant enzymes.

Manganese is an essential trace mineral that supports many important biological processes. It acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy metabolism, antioxidant defense, and the formation of bone, cartilage, and connective tissue. Manganese also contributes to the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body's primary antioxidant enzymes. - What is an enzyme cofactor?
An enzyme cofactor is a nutrient that helps enzymes carry out important chemical reactions in the body. Manganese acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy metabolism, antioxidant defense, and the formation of bone, cartilage, and connective tissue, making it an essential mineral for overall health. - How does manganese support bone and joint health?
Manganese plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of bone, cartilage, and connective tissue. It supports enzymes involved in the production of collagen and proteoglycans, key structural components of healthy joints. Through its role in antioxidant defense and connective tissue formation, manganese helps support healthy bones, joint function, and mobility. - What makes Swanson Albion® Chelated Manganese unique?
