What is Manganese and its health benefits?

Many people confuse Manganese with Magnesium and, in fact, they are two different elements, although both are equally important. Manganese is an essential mineral necessary for the normal functioning of brain function, the nervous system and metabolic enzymes.

Manganese is found naturally mainly in foods of plant origin, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grain cereals, vegetables and teas. Although meat contains little manganese, it can contribute to better absorption of this mineral by the body. Manganese is also found in the water we consume.
