Manganese![]() |
||||
Manganese is a trace mineral.
Athletes: People who exercise or work in hot climates might benefit from increased dietary or supplemental intake of manganese since this mineral is lost through heavy perspiration.
Immune Function: A diet low in manganese appears to increase the risk of infection because of compromised immune function.
Osteoporosis: Manganese might boost the effectiveness of calcium in the prevention of bone loss and osteoporosis.
