Many women find comfort in taking manganese supplements during midlife. Swanson Albion Manganese is amino acid chelated to enhance bioavailability.
What Makes Chelated Mineral Glycinates So Superior?
First we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals becoming chemically bound to amino acids in a very specific manner. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that they may be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only "chelators" available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is readily identified and absorbed across the intestinal wall, and Albion's glycinate chelates are actually small enough to transport right into the cells themselves!

FAQ
- What is manganese and what does it do?
Manganese is an essential trace mineral that plays a role in many important biological processes. It helps support normal bone formation, connective tissue production, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Manganese also serves as a component of antioxidant enzymes that help protect cells from oxidative stress. - What are the benefits of manganese?
Manganese supports overall health by contributing to normal bone development, connective tissue formation, and energy metabolism. It also plays a role in the body's natural antioxidant defense system through its involvement in enzymes that help neutralize free radicals generated during normal metabolic processes. - How much manganese should I take daily?
The Adequate Intake (AI) for manganese is 2.3 mg per day for adult men and 1.8 mg per day for adult women. Individual needs may vary based on age, diet, and life stage. Many people obtain manganese through food, while others may choose a supplement to help support their daily intake. Consult your healthcare provider before beginning any supplement regimen. - What foods are naturally high in manganese?
Manganese is found in a variety of plant-based foods, including whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, leafy green vegetables, and tea. Smaller amounts can also be found in certain fruits and animal-based foods. Eating a varied diet can help support healthy manganese intake. - Who should consider taking a manganese supplement?
A manganese supplement may be beneficial for individuals who do not regularly consume manganese-rich foods or who are looking to support their daily intake of this essential mineral. Manganese supplements can provide a convenient way to complement a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. - Is Swanson Albion® Manganese suitable for special diets?
Swanson Albion® Manganese is non-GMO, making it a great choice for consumers seeking supplements made without genetically modified ingredients. However, it is not vegan or vegetarian because the capsule contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. This product is also not certified gluten free.
