Manganese
Manganese helps the formation of connective tissue and bones*
Manganese is a mineral found in plants and animals, but only trace amounts can be found in human tissue. It’s predominantly stored in the bones, liver, kidney, and pancreas. Manganese aids in the formation of connective tissue, bones, blood-clotting factors, and sex hormones, and it plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function.*
