Manganese Bisglycinate

Fully-Reacted Chelated Mineral

Manganese bisglycinate is a highly absorbable form of the mineral manganese, making it an ideal supplement ingredient.

Manganese bisglycinate and manganese glycinate refer to the same mineral. Manganese bisglycinate is the chemical or scientific name of this form of manganese.

Cypress Systems manganese bisglycinate is a fully chelated mineral, increasing its bioavailability in the body. Fully reacted, chelated minerals remain covalently bonded and can be properly absorbed and used by the body. Additionally they do not disassociate in the stomach’s acidic environment.

Fully reacted mineral ingredients, such as our manganese bisglycinate are up to four times more bioavailable, with less inhibition by other minerals, and have fewer potential side effects.

What is Manganese Bisglycinate?

Manganese bisglycinate is a fully reacted, chelated mineral created by binding bivalent manganese with two glycine molecules. The ratio of manganese to the amino acid glycine increases solubility, encouraging enhanced absorption in the small intestine and bloodstream.

Manganese bisglycinate does not disassociate in the stomach’s acidic environment. Instead, this form of manganese remains covalently bonded and properly absorbed and used by the body.

Manganese Bisglycinate Research Data

Research on manganese bisglycinate and manganese highlights a range of potential positive health outcomes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ‡

The potential benefits manganese may have in supporting bone health and managing bone loss are widely studied. There is some evidence for supplementing with manganese, calcium, zinc, and copper to potentially minimize spinal bone loss due to the normal aging process for elderly postmenopausal women.

Manganese has a recognized role in the development and function of the SOD antioxidant, leading researchers to investigate the potential health benifits manganese may have.

When combined with other supplements, manganese may support a reduction in inflammation, primarily due to the activity of SOD.

Because manganese has a primary role in insulin production and is mostly located in the pancreas, researchers have investigated the role this mineral has in glucose regulation and activity.
