What it is

Manganese citrate is a salt formed from manganese and citric acid. Citric acid is naturally found in citrus fruits, and manganese is a mineral found in the earth's crust. It is typically produced through a chemical reaction involving manganese compounds and citric acid.

Why it's used

Manganese citrate is primarily added to foods as a nutrient supplement to provide manganese. It is often found in powdered drink mixes, meal replacements, and fortified beverages where manufacturers aim to increase the mineral content.

Health notes

In the U.S., manganese citrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. Manganese is an essential mineral that plays a role in various bodily functions. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated manganese and its compounds, establishing guidelines for its use. Evidence on the health effects of manganese at typical dietary intake levels is generally reassuring, though excessive intake can lead to adverse effects.

Allergen info

Manganese citrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
