Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace mineral that is concentrated primarily in the bone, liver, pancreas, and brain. This mineral is a component of several enzymes: (1) Mn-superoxide dismutase which prevents tissue damage due to lipid (fat) oxidation; (2) pyruvate carboxylase which helps break down carbohydrates; and (3) arginase which is important for nitric oxide synthesis and the formation of urea in the urine. Manganese also activates numerous enzymes, particularly glycosyltransferases which are involved with the formation of cartilage in bone and skin.
