Manganese is a pinkinsh-gray, chemically active element.
It is a hard metal and is very brittle. It is hard to melt, but easily oxidized.
Manganese is reactive when pure, and as a powder it will burn in oxygen, it reacts with water (it rusts like iron) and dissolves in dilute acids.

The use of manganese compounds stretches back more than 17,000 years.
Ancient cave paintings, including those in Lascaux France, derive their color from manganese dioxide.
Manganese metal, however, was not isolated until 1774 by Johan Gottlieb Gahn, three years after his colleague Carl Wilhelm Scheele had identified it as a unique element.

Perhaps the biggest development for manganese came nearly 100 years later when, in 1860, Sir Henry Bessemer, taking the advice of Robert Forester Mushet, added manganese to his steel production process to remove sulfur and oxygen. It increased the malleability of the finished product, allowing it to be rolled and forged at high temperatures.

In 1882, Sir Robert Hadfield alloyed manganese with carbon steel, producing the first ever steel alloy, which is now known as Hadfield steel.

Manganese increases strength, hardness and wear resistance when alloyed in steel.
It is Manganese's ability to readily combine with sulfur and oxygen, which makes it critical in the production of steel.
Manganese's proclivity to oxidize helps to remove oxygen impurities, while also improving the workability of steel at high temperatures by combining with sulfur to form a high melting sulfide.

Ferromanganese, which contains 74-82 % manganese, is produced and classified as high carbon (>1.5% carbon), medium carbon (1.0-1.5% carbon) or low carbon (<1% carbon). All three are formed through the smelting of manganese dioxide, iron oxide and coal (coke) in a blast or, more often, an electric arc furnace. The intense heat provided by the furnace leads to a carbothermal reduction of the three ingredients, resulting in ferromanganese.

Silicomanganese, which contains 65-68% silicon, 14-21% manganese and about 2% carbon is extracted from the slag created during high carbon ferromanganese production or directly from manganese ore. By smelting manganese ore with coke and quartz at very high temperatures, the oxygen is removed while quartz converts to silicon, leaving silicomanganese.

Electrolytic manganese, with purities between 93-98%, is manufactured by leaching manganese ore with sulphuric acid. Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are then used to precipitate unwanted impurities, including iron, aluminum, arsenic, zinc, lead, cobalt, and molybdenum. The purified solution is then fed into an electrolytic cell and through an electrowinning process creates a thin layer of manganese metal on the cathode.

China is both the largest producer of manganese ore and the largest producer of refined manganese materials (i.e. ferromanganese, silicomanganese and electrolytic manganese).

Applications
Manganese is essential to iron and steel production.
At present steel making accounts 85% to 90% of the total demand, most of the total demand.
Manganese is a key component of low-cost stainless steel formulations and certain widely used alumimum alloys.
Manganese dioxide is also used as a catalyst. Manganese is used to decolorize glass and make violet coloured glass.

Potassium permanganate is a potent oxidizer and used as a disinfectant.
Other compounds that find application are Manganese oxide (MnO) and manganese carbonate (MnCO₃): the first goes into fertilizers and ceramics, the second is the starting material for making other manganese compounds.

Manganese in the environment
Manganese is one of the most abundant metals in soils, where it occurs as oxides and hydroxides, and it cycles through its various oxidation states. Manganese occurs principally as pyrolusite (MnO₂), and to a lesser extent as rhodochrosite (MnCO₃). More than 25 million tonnes are mined every year, representing 5 million tons of the metal, and reserves are estimated to exeed 3 billion tonnes of the metal. The main mining areas for manganese ores are South Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Gabon and Australia.

Manganese is an essential element for all species.
Some organisms, such as diatoms, molluscs and sponges, accumulate manganese.
Fish can have up to 5 ppm and mammals up to 3 ppm in their tissue, although normally they have around 1 ppm.

Manganese is a very common compound that can be found everywhere on earth.

Manganese is one out of three toxic essential trace elements, which means that it is not only necessary for humans to survive, but it is also toxic when too high concentrations are present in a human body.

When people do not live up to the recommended daily allowances their health will decrease.
But when the uptake is too high health problems will also occur.

Manganese is an, alkaline-forming, regulatory mineral. ...

Deficiencies.

Most people are deficient in vital manganese compounds because:

1) They are born low in manganese due to deficiencies in their mothers

2) They eat refined or chemicalized foods that contain little manganese

3) They eat too much raw food such as salads.
Human beings cannot extract enough manganese from these foods because we cannot break down the tough vegetable fibers.

A female mineral.
Dr. Eck classified manganese as an older ‘female’ element in the body.
He called it the maternal mineral because animals fed diets low in manganese exhibit less maternal behavior toward their young, and may abandon them completely.

The foodstuffs that contain the highest concentrations are

• spinach,
• tea and
• herbs.
• grains,
• rice,
• soya beans,
• eggs,
• nuts,
• olive oil,
• green beans and
• oysters.

After absorption in the human body manganese will be transported through the blood to the liver, the kidneys, the pancreas and the endocrine glands.

When men are exposed to manganese for a longer period of time they may become impotent.

Because manganese is an essential element for human health shortages of manganese can also cause (ill) health effects.
These are the following effects:

  - Fatness
  - Glucose intolerance
  - Blood clotting
  - Skin problems
  - Lowered cholesterol levels
  - Skeleton disorders
  - Birth defects
  - Changes of hair colour
  - Neurological symptoms 

Manganese substances can cause
• lung disturbances,
• liver disturbances, and
• vascular disturbances,
• declines in blood pressure,
• failure in development of animal foetuses, and
• brain damage.

Chronic Manganese poisoning may result from prolonged inhalation of dust and fume.
The central nervous system is the chief site of damage from the disease, which may result in permanent disability.

Symptoms of toxicity include

languor,

sleepiness,

weakness,

emotional disturbances,

spastic gait,

recurring leg cramps, and

paralysis.

Manganese excess influences occur mainly in the respiratory tract and in the brains.

Symptoms of manganese poisoning are

hallucinations,

forgetfulness and

nerve damage. ...

Parkinson,

lung embolism and

bronchitis.

Disease Checklist
Conditions which can be encouraged when Mn is out of balance.
• Osteoporosis
• Tardive dyskinesia
• Hypothyroidism
• Diabetes
• Dermatitis
• Epilepsy
• Asthma

A syndrome that is caused by manganese has symptoms such as
• schizophrenia,
• dullness,
• weak muscles,
• headaches and
• insomnia.

A high incidence of pneumonia and other upper respiratory infections has been found in workers exposed to dust or fume of Manganese compounds. Manganese compounds are experimental equivocal tumorigenic agents.

When manganese uptake takes place through the skin it can cause tremors and coordination failures.

Report : Environmental effects of Manganese. INDEX

Mn-en.htm#Environmental%20effects%20of%20manganese

For animals manganese is an essential component of over thirty-six enzymes that are used for the carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. With animals that eat too little manganese interference of normal growth, bone formation and reproduction will occur.

For some animals the lethal dose is quite low, which means they have little chance to survive even smaller doses of manganese when these exceed the essential dose.

In plants manganese ions are transported to the leaves after uptake from soils.
When too little manganese can be absorbed from the soil this causes disturbances in plant mechanisms.
For instance disturbance of the division of water to hydrogen and oxygen, in which manganese plays an important part.

Manganese compounds exist naturally in the environment as solids in the soils and small particles in the water.
Manganese particles in air are present in dust particles. These usually settle to earth within a few days.

Humans enhance manganese concentrations in the air by industrial activities and through burning fossil fuels.
Manganese that derives from human sources can also enter surface water, groundwater and sewage water. Through the application of manganese pesticides, manganese will enter soils.

Highly toxic concentrations of manganese in soils can cause

swelling of cell walls, 
withering of leafs and 
brown spots on leaves. 

Deficiencies can also cause these effects.
Between toxic concentrations and concentrations that cause deficiencies a small area of concentrations for optimal plant growth can be detected.

Manganese can cause both toxicity and deficiency symptoms in plants.
When the pH of the soil is low manganese deficiencies are more common.

Manganese substances can cause
• lung disturbances,
• liver disturbances, and
• vascular disturbances,
• declines in blood pressure,
• failure in development of animal foetuses, and
• brain damage.

When manganese uptake takes place through the skin it can cause tremors and coordination failures.

Finally, laboratory tests with test animals have shown that severe manganese poisoning should even be able to cause tumor development with animals.

Hair Manganese levels generally reflect actual body stores, but external contamination can influence hair Mn.
High hair Mn can be an artifact of contamination from Hair perm solutions, dyes, bleaches, and well water (containing high Mn).
These possibilities should be considered and ruled out before proceeding with therapies to alleviate excess Mn.

Confirmatory tests for Mn excess include whole blood and provoked urine elements (e.g. EDTA, DMPS).

Manganese in dust form can be toxic if breathed into the system.
The metal has been known to impair motor skills and cause cognitive disorders.

This element may be used for drying black paints or in the preparation of oxygen and chlorine.
The metal is also used to improve the strength of steel by acting as an alloying agent.
In nature, manganese may be essential for processing vitamin B1.

People that ingest too much Manganese may develop Parkinson’s disease.
High levels of manganese may alter the blood-brain barrier.
The iron content of the blood plasma may be lowered and the iron content of the cerebrospinal fluid may rise.

Mn is an essential element which is involved in the activation of many important enzymes.

However, MN excess is postulated to result in
• glutathionyl radical formation,
• reduction of the free glutathione pool, and,
• increased exposure of adrenal catecholamines (e.g. dopamine) to free radical damage ...
• degeneration of myelin pigmented dopaminergic neurons
  ---- which results in abnormally low levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain.

World's Healthiest Foods rich in manganese
• Cloves
• Oats
• Brown Rice
• Garbanzo Beans
• Spinach
• Pineapple
• Pumpkin Seeds
• Rye
• Tempeh
• Soybeans
• Whole grains
• Vegetables
• Fruits

In the 1930s, researchers discovered that our bodies require small amounts of dietary manganese each day.
Since then, it has been determined that each adult has about 15-20 mg of manganese stored in his or her body.
Needless to say, this isn't very much, and in fact some people occasionally eat this much dietary manganese in a single day. Animal foods are typically low in manganese, and provide 5% or less of the DV.

In legumes, cooking does not appear to lead to much or any loss of manganese.
With vegetables, you may expect a little more loss of manganese with cooking.
Still, you'll be able to minimize this loss by reducing cooking time and contact with cooking water.
For instance, the manganese loss after cooking spinach with a brief boil time was less than 10%. ...

Causes of Mn excess include:

1. occupational or environmental exposures,
2. contaminated teas,
3. contaminated drinking water,
4. some street drugs (cocaine products),
5. tobacco smoking.

Conditions predisposing to Mn excess are:
• iron or calcium deficiency,
• chronic infection,
• imapaired liver function,
• impaired kidney function.

Alcoholism is occasionally assoctied with Mn excess.

The brain is particularly affected by Mn excess.

Symptoms or conditions consistent with excessive Mn include:
• disorientation,
• memory loss,
• anxiety,
• emotional instability,
• biploar-like behaviors (laughing and crying),
• aberrant or violent behaviors,
• tremor or Parkinson-like symptoms.

By Jillian Levy, CHHC --- July 11, 2017

... As an essential nutrient that’s usually tied to iron and other minerals, manganese plays a role in numerous chemical processes, including synthesis of nutrients like cholesterol, carbohydrates and proteins. Also importantly, manganese is involved in the formation of bone mass and helps balance hormones naturally that affect nearly every aspect of health.

Manganese is an important trace mineral needed for many vital functions, including nutrient absorption, production of digestive enzymes, bone development and immune-system defenses.

Manganese also helps balance levels of calcium — helping fight calcium deficiency — and phosphorus ,,,

Manganese deficiency is usually caused by a lack of manganese-rich foods in someone’s diet and sometimes by chronic digestive disorders that make it hard to absorb manganese.

Because the body tightly regulates the amount of manganese it holds through levels of absorption and excretion, humans maintain stable tissue levels of manganese in most cases. This is the reason manganese deficiencies are rare.

Too much manganese, ..., usually poses more of a threat, especially during development years when the brain is still forming. ... Excessive accumulation in the central nervous system can cause birth defects and cognitive problems but is considered a low risk.

Only a small percentage of dietary manganese is even actually absorbed, and the rest is excreted very rapidly into the gut via bile and then excreted — so trouble neutralizing and eliminating manganese due to existing liver, gut or digestive problems pose the biggest risk for acquiring too much manganese. At the same time, manganese is taken up from the blood by the liver and transported to tissues throughout the body, so liver damage can also cause a deficiency.

... taking manganese along with other bone-supporting nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, copper and boron can improve bone mass in women with weak bones, which is useful to naturally treat osteoporosis.

Manganese is used in numerous important enzymes, including arginase, glutamine synthetase and manganese superoxide. These work as antioxidants in the body, helping lower levels of oxidative stress and inflammation that can lead to heart disease or cancer.

superoxide dismutase is sometimes called the “primary” or “master antioxidant” since it’s especially powerful at reducing inflammation, pain and bodily stress that can lead to numerous chronic diseases. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are the only enzymes capable of consuming superoxide radicals, making them valuable for slowing the aging process and prolonging health.

Manganese also helps form important enzymes related to bone formation, including glycosyltransferases and xylosyltransferases. And finally, manganese plays a part in important digestive enzymes that turn compounds found in food into useable nutrients and energy within the body, including glucose and amino acids.

Consuming plenty of manganese along with calcium can help improve symptoms of PMS — such as tenderness, muscle pain, anxiety, mood swings and trouble sleeping — and work as a natural remedy for PMS. One study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that women who have lower levels of manganese in their blood experienced more pain and mood-related symptoms during pre-menstruation.

Helps Balance Iron Levels and Prevent Anemia
Iron and manganese work closely together, and a strong inverse relationship between deficiency in iron and high manganese levels has been found. While overly high manganese can contribute to anemia, manganese also helps the body use and store iron to some degree as well, which can help prevent anemia (low iron). ...

... people who should avoid manganese supplements or speak with a doctor first include those with existing liver disease, who likely have trouble getting rid of manganese, and people with a history of alcoholism or anemia. Manganese can build up in these people and cause side effects, including mental problems, dizziness and shaking, and worsened liver disease. People who have existing iron deficiency (anemia) are also likely to absorb higher levels of manganese so they need to be cautious about their consumption rate. ....

Role of Ginger As Natural Blood Thinner
February 19, 2009 by Anonymous

You need sufficient amounts of a number of vitamins and minerals for your blood to clot properly.
Eating a variety of foods high in these nutrients may help somewhat if you bleed easily, but don't rely on food alone if you think your blood isn't clotting properly. ...

You need the trace mineral manganese to form some of the blood-clotting factors.
Good sources of this mineral, which is also important for healing wounds and forming strong bones, includetea, seafood, beans, nuts, seeds, whole-wheat bread, tofu and green leafy vegetables.Wild blueberries, chocolate, maple syrup, coconut, okra ... all provide significant amounts of manganese as well.

(Unhealthy) Blood Clots are also known as thrombi, and form inside major blood vessels, and are the major cause of strokes, heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions. Because blood clots rarely present symptoms it is important to screen on a yearly basis.

Blood clotting will occur after a cut to the skin within minutes and this is a healthy response.
It becomes a problem when the clotting occurs inside the healthy blood vessels.
When the platelets become activated to clump together by coming in contact with damaged arterial walls or because of other nutritional deficiencies, a genetic predisposition, and poor dietary habits – it is then that you have a problem. And when these platelets are activated they become sticky, their shape will change and they easily clump together, causing a clot.

One of the main factors that cause unhealthy clots is the production of fibrin, which helps to bind the platelets of the clump together. Fibrin is the end product of the coagulation factors that occurs with just one molecule becoming active. This can explode to up to 30,000 molecules of fibrin at the site of the injury on the arterial wall.

There are certain factors that may cause a buildup of fibrin causing the platelets to get sticky and they include:

• smoking,
• a high-cholesterol diet,
• late stage pregnancy,
• nutrient deficiencies,
• free radicals (usually cased by inadequate antioxidant nutrients),
• low essential fatty acids,
• liver disease and

  a diet

• high in saturated fat,
• low in fish and greens, vegetables and fruit.

Also prolonged sitting on long air flights and this can put at risk of developing a pulmonary thrombosis.

It is often the blood clots that form in the legs or another body part that break loose and then block one of the arteries to the lungs. Some ways to prevent this on an airline flight would be to

• get up and walk the aisle every hour or so,
• wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing,
• stretch periodically,
• constrict and relax the muscles of the abdomen and
• do some deep breathing; slow, deep breaths.

Garlic, onions, hot peppers, and ginger all help to decrease the fibrin formation and the platelet stickiness, reductions in both will help to prevent a stroke or a heart attack. Fish oils are also helpful to reduce clotting. Use granulated garlic on food as a regular, everyday spice. Eat more cold-water fish – a minimum of 3 times per week and decrease your sugar as this also increases platelet stickiness.

Exercise helps to guard against heart attacks and stokes by helping the body’s natural mechanism to dissolve blood clots. And it was found at Duke University that women taking oral contraceptives could reduce their risks significantly with exercise.

One of the more helpful herbs to prevent blood clots is Hawthorne berry.
The juice that will help is that of garlic, beet, carrot celery, parsley and spinach; drink 8-12 ounces per day.

Researchers in Japan have shown that nattokinase, an enzyme that comes from soy, can dissolve blood clots sometimes in as little time as just 2 hours. So, goes without saying this will help with prevention also.

The supplements that are helpful include: vitamins B6, B3,C, E, zinc, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, magnesium, manganese, lipotropic factors (used for liver metabolism of fat) and bromelain.

All clotting factors are made in the liver and cancer that starts in the liver or spreads to it as well as other liver conditions like cirrhosis or hepatitis can be a major cause of bleeding disorders. The long-term use of antibiotics or anticoagulant medications that thin the blood may also contribute to the body’s inability to create blood clotting factors. ...

Manganese is good for healing wounds and making the bones stronger and some of this trace mineral is also needed to form the blood clotting factors. Good sources of manganese include tea, seafood, beans, nuts, seeds, whole wheat breads, tofu and again those ever so good green leafy vegetables. This food group also includes those guilty pleasures like chocolate, maple syrup and wild blueberries which all have significant amounts of manganese.

For patients who are seeking an alternative to conventional blood thinner medication, research has shown that there are a number of natural substances and blood thinning foods that may inhibit platelet aggregation safely and without side effects.

Ginger
Ginger is rich in beta-carotene, volatile oils, amino acids, essential fatty acids, potassium, resins, iron, manganese, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C, B-vitamins and gingerols. It has traditionally had many medicinal applications including as natural cure for high blood pressure, as well as being a food that thins blood.

Scientific studies have shown that ginger (also known as Zingiber officinale) is an effective anti-coagulant. The process of platelet aggregation is instigated by an inflammatory substance formed within the body and known as arachidonic acid. A research study carried out in Australia looked at the ability of the constituent substances in ginger to stop or reduce platelet activation induced by arachidonic acid in human blood. They also compared and contrasted the anti-coagulant properties of ginger with those of aspirin.

The report concluded that the constituent substances in ginger could indeed prevent blood platelets from adhering together. This might be due to the inhibition of the enzyme COX-1. The report also concluded that ginger compounds and the derivatives of ginger are more effective as anti-platelet agents than aspirin.

Toxic manganese.
A highly toxic form of manganese is found in gasoline.
This means that anyone living in a city, or living near a highway, is exposed every day to a toxic form of manganese that can replace the good forms of manganese in the body, to some degree.

Welders are often exposed to another toxic form of manganese, as well.
Toxic forms may have a valence of +4 or +6.
This may explain why welders sometimes exhibit bizarre and violent behavior.
A number of the school shooting rampages in the United States and other nations have been committed by welders. ...

... Removing the toxic, oxide form of manganese and some other toxic forms of manganese from the body is not too easy. However, a properly designed nutritional balancing program will achieve this.

One may need to remain on a nutritional balancing program for ten years or more for manganese elimination to occur if the body is in a weakened state, as most of them are today. Following a complete nutritional balancing program is definitely the fastest way I know of to eliminate excess and toxic manganese that I find almost everyone has, so some degree.

In particular, near infrared lamp sauna therapy is very helpful, and perhaps needed, at times, to remove toxic manganese from the body. Perhaps this is because this therapy drastically increases circulation, or for other reasons.

Manganese is an essential element that most people know little about.
Adequate tissue Manganese is important for numerous physiological functions.
Among those are:

• Maintaining optimal energy and strength levels
• Catalyzing the production of SOD (superoxide dismutase)
• Supports healthy bone and cartilage
• Proper growth and reproduction
• Bile production for fat metabolism
• Proper functioning of the digestive tract
• Supports neurological health

With the amount of processed foods consumed today, obtaining adequate Manganese is a problem for many people. Also, the DRI (daily recommended intake) has not been established to any degree of accuracy. This adds to the major confusion over how much the average individual needs daily.
