Manganese

What is Manganese?

Manganese is a trace heavy metal that plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including bone formation, enzyme function, and metabolism. While it is essential in small amounts, excessive levels can be toxic to the body.

Purpose of Manganese Blood Testing

A manganese blood test is performed to assess the concentration of manganese in the bloodstream. This test is useful in identifying both deficiency and toxicity, particularly in individuals with suspected overexposure or metabolic imbalances.
