Products with Manganese

Interactions

competes. Manganese and iron share the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) for intestinal absorption; high iron intake significantly reduces manganese absorption and vice versa

competes. Calcium may reduce manganese absorption, though the effect is less pronounced than with iron; relevant mainly with high-dose calcium supplements

competes. Manganese and magnesium share some transport mechanisms; very high magnesium intake may modestly reduce manganese absorption
