Manganese Chelate

DESCRIPTION
Manganese Chelate tablets, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, supply manganese from bioavailable manganese amino acid chelate. Each tablet contains 16.7 mg elemental manganese.

FUNCTIONS
Manganese is an essential trace element for growth, reproduction, bone, cartilage, and glucose tolerance. Manganese activates several metalloenzymes, including hydrolases, kinases, decarboxylases and transferases. Manganese is also the essential cofactor of the mitochondrial form of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is a key antioxidant enzyme that destroys harmful superoxide anions that are generated during normal energy metabolism or come from environmental pollution. Mitochondrial SOD activity is dependent on sufficient dietary intake of manganese.

INDICATIONS
Manganese Chelate tablets may be a useful dietary adjunct for individuals wishing to supplement with this essential mineral.
