• Anti-oxidant defense – co-factor in production of oxidative enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) which disarms free-radicals produced in cell mitochondria
• SOD deficiency leads to strains, sprains and inflammation
• Anti-inflammatory aid for people with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic inflammatory disorders
• Enhances enzyme systems for blood sugar control, energy metabolism, thyroid hormone function, cholesterol synthesis, protein synthesis
• Cerebral function – critical for glucose utilization within neuron, adenylate cyclase activity and neurotransmitter control

• High intake of iron, calcium or phosphorus create greater need for manganese, especially iron – if manganese intake high, iron intake will be lower
• Not stored well in body and aluminium decreases tissue stores further
• Activates enzymes for body to use Biotin, Vitamins B1, C and Choline
• Activates glutamine synthetase (glutamine is small intestine fuel)
