Manganese

Manganese is a nutritional trace element, whose nutritional value is not very well known. Manganese is found in large amounts in plants and animals but not in human tissues. Although the value of the trace element is still being studied by researchers, today we know that manganese has antioxidant properties and is necessary for the activation of a number of enzymes for better food digestion. Manganese helps the body absorb vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin E.
