Manganese

Manganese (Mn) is a micromineral that is a component of an antioxidant enzyme known as superoxide dismutase (SOD). Manganese helps with everything from building testosterone and estrogen, to making our ligaments and tendons strong. It makes our blood clot when it should, facilitates calcium absorption, and helps us have healthy brains, bones, and nerves. It’s also an antioxidant, helping to quell the tazmanian devil-like destruction caused by free radicals.
