How does Passion 4 Health use it?
Manganese is an essential trace mineral required as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in normal metabolism, connective tissue production, bone formation, and cellular antioxidant activity. Manganese supports the activity of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), an antioxidant enzyme that helps protect cells from oxidative stress by converting superoxide radicals into less reactive compounds.
Passion 4 Health provides Manganese as manganese bisglycinate chelate, a mineral form in which manganese is bound to the amino acid glycine. This form is included in the Daily Liquid Multivitamin + Minerals and Hair, Skin & Nails Daily Liquid Multivitamin as part of each formula’s trace-mineral profile. Manganese is included to support normal bone formation, collagen and connective tissue production, cellular antioxidant defense, normal metabolism, and everyday wellness.
