Manganese

What is Maganese ?
An element sometimes found in ground water, usually with dissolved iron but in lower concentrations. Manganese is a typical natural occurring mineral found in municipal and well water. Manganese effects the taste and the color or water. Manganese can also cause staining of clothes and dishware and black stains and other problems similar to iron.

Deficiency of Maganese
Deficiencies are rare but would include poor bone growth, problems with the disks between the vertebrae, birth defects, and problems with blood glucose levels and reduced fertility. Serious deficiency in children can result in paralysis, deafness and blindness. Manganese is not easily absorbed but since small amounts are needed deficiencies are not very general.

Toxicity and symptoms of high intake
Toxicity by diet is rare. Miners who are exposed to high levels of manganese, which can also be inhaled, can cause "manganese madness".

When more may be required
A higher intake may be necessary when breast-feeding or when taking a calcium or phosphorous supplement.
