MANGANESE IS IMPORTANT IN THE BODY Manganese is an important part of Manganese Superoxide Dismutase (MnSOD), which battles the damaging free radicals that cause swelling. Immediately after trauma the body starts coding for more MnSOD to be produced. Repletion of manganese after trauma is important in order to keep up the free radical defense system. Manganese is a trace element responsible for activating numerous enzymes. It aids in the utilization of choline and is a catalyst in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Manganese is important in normal skeletal development, in milk production, the formation of urea, sex hormone maintenance, nourishing the brain and nerves, and is essential in the formation of thyroxine. Manganese is used to increase bone density and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is also used to treat hearing loss, atherosclerosis, and schizophrenia. Manganese is used to treat swelling brought on by rheumatoid arthritis because of its use in the synthesis of glycoproteins. Manganese is an important coenzyme mineral for the synthesis of glycoproteins which are important in immunity, blood typing, protection of the lining of the lungs and G.I. tract. Glycoproteins also act as lubricants for joints and are important in the synthesis of various tissues in the body.
