Brand: Vitamin World · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Manganese is an essential trace mineral, but data for the specific product "Vitamin World Amino Acid Chelated Manganese 5 mg" is extremely limited. The evidence shows that 5 mg is a standard supplemental dose, falling within the safe range for most adults [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot confirm the effectiveness of the "amino acid chelated" form over other types based on the data provided.
How it works
Manganese acts as a cofactor for several enzymes, playing a key role in bone formation, blood clotting, and reducing oxidative stress [NIH ODS]. It also supports your body's metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, and cholesterol [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a helper that activates critical chemical reactions in your cells.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects or adverse event reports for this product from the FDA data provided. The tolerable upper intake level for manganese from all sources (food and supplements) is 11 mg per day for adults [NIH ODS]. Consuming more than this amount from supplements alone is not recommended without medical supervision.
Our recommendation
For most people, getting manganese from a balanced diet—rich in nuts, whole grains, and leafy greens—is sufficient. Data not available to recommend this specific supplement over others. If you are considering taking 5 mg daily, consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have liver disease or are taking iron supplements, as manganese absorption can be affected [NIH ODS].
