Manganese [Mn] – Manganese deficiency can cause tendonitis, because it is important in the nutrition of tendons as well as other areas that require normal growth and development such as bones and connective tissue. Manganese is needed to process protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism; and is involved with the proper functioning of the nerves. Manganese is also needed in immune system antibody response as well as the activity of macrophages, granulocytes and phagocytes that protect the body form invasion.

Manganese also has a role in lowering the blood glucose levels. Manganese activates several enzymes in the blood, bone, intestines, and liver. Manganese activates enzymes such as phosphatase, arginase, carboxylase and cholinesterase.

Manganese has a role as a coenzyme for the mitochondria intracellular respiratory enzyme systems and is essential for the body to break down fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates and cholesterol. Manganese may reduce atherosclerosis, heart disorders, and improve pancreas and vision functions.

We will discuss Molybdenum (Mo) mineral in our next lecture as a continuation of the specific uses of minerals or element in our bodies.
