Effects of deficiency:

  • Achy joints are perhaps the most recognized effect of the lack of manganese.
  • Low levels of manganese in the system cause weak ligaments and over the years the body compensates by adding extra calcium to the joints to firm them up and keep them together, causing stiff joints.
  • Deficiency of manganese may also lead to osteoporosis, diabetes and epileptic seizures.

Recommendations:

  • A supplement is advisable only when a manganese deficiency has progressed enough to exhibit some or all of the symptoms above. Otherwise it is readily available from dietary sources.
  • Supplementation range: 8 to 25 mg daily.
  • Supplements can be used in the treatment of sprains, inflammation, epilepsy and diabetes.

Dietary sources of Manganese

  • Nuts like pistachios, walnuts, cashews, almonds.
  • Dark green leafy vegetables Celery Green peas Beetroot.
  • Egg yolk Liver .
  • Whole grains and bran `
  • Legumes Avocado Apples Bananas Pineapple .
  • Green tea`.
  • Dark chocolate.

Please note :

Foods high in phytic acid, such as beans, seeds, nuts, whole grains, and soy products, or foods high in oxalic acid, such as cabbage, spinach, and sweet potatoes, may slightly inhibit manganese absorption. Although teas are rich sources of manganese, the tannins present in tea may moderately reduce the absorption of manganese. Intake of other minerals, including iron, calcium, and phosphorus, have been found to limit retention of manganese.

Stay blessed with good health …always!!!

Warm regards,
Charmaine D’Souza
