Manganese with very high bioavailability

Manganese bisglycinate is a form of manganese in which the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine. 

It is also referred to as a chelate, which is why you will sometimes find the product under the name manganese chelate or manganese glycinate. 

This bond makes this form particularly gentle and well tolerated, which is precisely why we chose it for our manganese capsules.

Each capsule contains 5 mg of elemental manganese. This corresponds to 250% of the nutrient reference value (NRV) according to EU regulations. Important: The 5 mg refers to pure manganese and not to the weight of the entire compound. This way, you know exactly what you are getting.

Manganese is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself. We therefore have to obtain it through our diet. Manganese contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the maintenance of normal bones. It also contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Take 1 capsule daily with a glass of water with a meal. Many customers take them with breakfast or lunch, so taking them quickly becomes part of their routine. Please do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Yes. The capsule shell is made of plant-based cellulose (HPMC), and no animal-derived ingredients are used. 

The Manganese Capsules are therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

In addition to manganese bisglycinate, the capsule contains maize starch, coconut milk powder and bamboo shoot extract. These natural ingredients replace processing aids such as magnesium stearate or microcrystalline cellulose, which we deliberately avoid. The product does not contain any colouring agents, preservatives, sweeteners or flavourings.

Yes, the product does not contain any allergens that are required to be declared. It is free from gluten, lactose, soy, yeast, nuts and peanuts and is produced without the use of genetic engineering. Under EU law, coconut is not one of the main allergens. However, if you are sensitive to coconut, you should keep an eye on the list of ingredients.

Many manganese tablets contain manganese sulphate or manganese gluconate. In manganese bisglycinate, the mineral is bound to glycine, the smallest amino acid. This chelated form is considered to be particularly gentle on the stomach. In addition, our small capsules are often more comfortable to swallow than large tablets.

With 250% of the NRV, the product has a higher dosage than many multivitamin preparations. A comparison with diet helps with the assessment: the EFSA assumes an adequate intake of about 3 mg per day for adults. Those who eat a diet rich in whole grains, nuts, legumes or tea already ingest some of it through their food. It is therefore best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist to find out whether this product is right for you.

In principle, yes. However, pay attention to how much manganese you are taking in overall, as many multivitamin and mineral supplements already contain manganese. Iron and manganese use similar absorption pathways in the intestine. If you take both, it may be advisable to take them at different times.

The product is not intended for children and adolescents. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, people with liver diseases and anyone who takes medication regularly should seek medical advice before taking it.

No. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. They can usefully supplement your diet, but not replace it.
