Manganese is a mineral that is essential to the development and maintenance of connective tissue and therefore important for supporting healthy skin, bones and joints.* It is also involved in glucose metabolism and may help to support healthy blood sugar levels.* Manganese is also an essential mineral component (along with copper and zinc) of the enzyme SOD (superoxide dismutase), one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body.* Studies have shown that people with diabetes have lower than normal levels of manganese in their blood, suggesting manganese supplements may be helpful in this condition.19,20
