Ive posted before but most don't listen but thats ok. It works on me. Saved me actually
Read or try for yourself


Vince Gironda recommended manganese for joint problems, and I see that it is one of the ingredients in the Joint-EZ formula. What do you think of glucosamine? How does it compare in effectiveness to manganese? Thanks again for your advice.

Vince recommended manganese and he would use it for the common condition often called “tennis elbow.” But remember, it can affect any joint.

Vince talked extensively about our mineral deficiencies in general. This includes calcium, magnesium, and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), etc.

There are roughly 92 minerals, trace minerals, and rare-earth minerals. In the US, our soil is depleted by 85%. At latest count, we are missing 45 of the 92, which are gone from the result of high-production farming. That’s why I carry Celtic sea salt, which contains all these minerals.

Another thing to remember is that without any hydrochloric acid in the stomach, minerals cannot be absorbed. Most Americans are now “alkaline” because of our high-carbohydrate consumption and because we consume hydrogenated oils. So, you see, this in essence is one of our problems – we are not absorbing any of our minerals because our digestion is not efficient. Success at anything is always a combination of many things and not just one magic ingredient.

Now, glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are essentially just poly- and mono-saccharides (simple natural sugars, which your cartilage is constructed of). I’ve seen the best results when both are combined. They both help with pain problems, but the GS and CS are not as effective as manganese for pain.

Nutrition note: manganese is to the pituitary as iodine is to the thyroid.

Roughly 50% of the people who use GS and GS receive no benefit. Why? Because GS and CS are rather large molecules and digestion is the factor. If you chew them and take them with bromelain and other digestive enzymes, then you are home. Not to be redundant, but Vince always emphasized digesting your food.

Nutritional note: chew all supplements unless they are time-released.

Again, you can’t compare manganese with GS and CS. You might want to use MSM because this mineral is totally depleted in our food.

Nutritional note: people who always need to warm-up and stretch are admitting to a mineral deficiency. They are also depleted in synovial fluid and joint elasticity.

May Improve Bone Health in Combination With Other Nutrients

Manganese is essential for bone health, including bone development and maintenance.
When combined with the nutrients calcium, zinc and copper, manganese supports bone mineral density. This is particularly important in older adults.
Studies have shown that about 50% of postmenopausal women and 25% of men aged 50 or older will suffer from an osteoporosis-related bone break (1Trusted Source).
Research suggests that taking manganese with calcium, zinc and copper may help reduce spinal bone loss in older women (2Trusted Source).
In addition, a one-year study in women with weak bones found that taking a supplement with these nutrients, as well as vitamin D, magnesium and boron may improve bone mass (3Trusted Source).
However, other studies suggest that supplements containing only calcium and vitamin D have similar effects. Thus, the role of manganese in bone health is still being researched

then don't take it. I don't need evidence, plus that is just one i could post. If you want me to post 100 more i can

What are the symptoms of manganese toxicity?

Also, manganese toxicity can produce neurobehavioral symptoms such as mood changes, short-term memory loss, and slowed reaction time.

Manganese (Mn) is a mineral element that is both nutritionally essential & potentially toxic. Supplements & dietary intake of Mn together should not exceed 10 mg / day because of the risk of nervous system side effects.
