WAIT – SO HOW MUCH DO I NEED, EXACTLY?

Someone wasn’t paying attention, were they? Since scientists’ manganese knowledge is limited, there’s no recommended daily amount. But while you might not know exactly how much you need, your body does. ‘If you’ve got plenty of manganese in your system, your body won’t absorb so much from your food,’ explains Dr Guess. ‘And if you’re running low, your body will absorb a greater percentage.’ Clever, eh?
