Dosage

We appear to need 2.5-3 milligrams per day of manganese.[1]

  • Reasonable doses to try for manganese are anywhere from 500 micrograms per day to

a maximum of 3 milligrams per day. The form does not seem to matter much, but manganese from supplements is twice as absorbable as manganese from vegetables and four times more absorbable than manganese from whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes.[2]
