High Grade Liquid Glucosamine and Chondroitin

Manganese
Manganese is found as the free element in nature (often in combination with iron), and in many minerals. The free element is a metal with
important industrial metal alloy uses. Manganese ions are variously colored, and are used industrially as pigments and as oxidation chemicals.
Manganese (II) ions function as cofactors for a number of enzymes; the element is thus a required trace mineral for all known living organisms.
Manganese is needed to build cartilage. We can have substantial levels of Glucosamine but without adequate manganese the production of
cartilage grinds to a stop. In a clinical trial studying glucosamine, chondroitin and manganese, 72 people with mild to moderate
osteoarthritis of the knee showed significant improvement in symptoms after taking these supplements. An estimated 37% of people have low
levels of manganese in their diets.
Manganese has various functions within the human body. The following functions may not all be specific to manganese, other vitamins and
minerals can take its place for some of the functions:
- helps to protect us against viruses and other infections by strengthening our cell walls. Manganese may also produce "killer" cells that
destroy diseased or infected cells;
- helps to create fatty acids and cholesterol, both necessary processes, as well as glycogen — a substance integral to energy and movement;
- helps to strengthen bones, collagen and connective tissue such as ligaments. Athletes may find they need manganese supplementation as it
can help with joint lubrication;
- helps to promote normal nerve function. The nerves carry the messages from our brain to wherever they need to be;
- there is a significant amount of manganese in the pituitary gland, where sex hormones are manufactured, it is known to play a part in
sexual function;
- helps to produce breast milk

Abstract:
The anti-inflammatory effects of recombinant human manganese superoxide dismutase on adjuvant arthritis was investigated. Local application
of this manganese superoxide dismutase given every 2 days not only significantly reduced foot swelling but also retarded radiological bone
destruction in adjuvant arthritis. Copper zinc superoxide dismutase had little effect on foot swelling.
