MANGANESE* Manganese,
also called the "brain mineral," is important in the utilization of
all mental facilities/functions. It aids memory and other brain and nerve
faculties. Though only found in trace amounts in the body, good health is
impossible without it. It increases resistance and recuperative ability and,
like iron, aids in oxygen transfer from lungs to cells.*
Manganese
strengthens tendons, tissues, ligaments, and linings in and outside of organs…
"If the human body is well supplied with it (manganese), various tissues,
cells and nerves become more ductile, tensile, and elastic" ( The
Chemistry of Man by Bernard Jensen).
Manganese makes up part of a
molecule known as mucopolysaccharides, which are used to form collagen, the
strong fibrous connective material that builds tissue, bone, and cartilage. This
mesh of collagen is the framework on which calcium, magnesium, and other bone
hardening minerals are deposited. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a painful condition in
which arm tendons are weak or damaged, is a sign of a
manganese deficiency.
Deafness, if due to damage of the cartilage of the ear, can be attributed
partially to a deficiency in
manganese.
Manganese has a positive effect on the
libido by increasing energy levels and the brain’s ability to receive and send
messages. It also helps the reproductive organs to work properly because of its
effect on tissues and nerves. Production of sex hormones is aided by
manganese.
It can help reduce menstrual cramps and PMS.
Manganese is stored half in the
bones and the remainder in the liver, pancreas, pituitary gland, and kidneys.* Restore Mineral Waters Navigation Bar *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Nutrition 2000
