Manganese - important for joints, energy metabolism and cell protection
Manganese is significantly involved in important processes in the human body. It is essential for the function of various enzymes. Manganese, for example, is important for cartilage and bone tissue, but it can also help with stimulating metabolism. Manganese is involved in the formation of enzymes, which in turn play an important role in the formation of cartilage and synovial fluid. Manganese contributes to normal connective tissue formation and the maintenance of normal bones. Manganese is also important for the activation of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism processes. Manganese contributes to normal energy metabolism. Manganese also belongs to the group of antioxidants. It intercepts so-called free radicals . Free radicals are aggressive oxygen compounds that are produced in the body during a wide variety of metabolic processes and attack our cells. Stress, cigarette smoke, alcohol, air pollution, UV light and physical activity can lead to an increased formation of free radicals. If the formation of free radicals exceeds a healthy concentration, one speaks of oxidative stress. Manganese helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
