A 'manganese bullet' targeting cardiovascular disease? Research finds potential therapy for intensive lipid lowering

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continue to rank as the top killer in the modern world. This deadly disorder often starts with the buildup of lipid deposits or plaques within the blood vessel, silently setting the stage for atherosclerosis. Rupture of these atherosclerotic plaques, however, could...

That’s cool! Thanks for sharing. I’m Glad to see they are studying nutrition and it’s affect on the body. I wonder what a human dosage would be.

I ordered some from Amazon, 50mg caps

Wow, that is cool. I got to get a some kind of plaque scan done soon. Dr. ordered it over a year ago and I have put it off. I do take K2 which prevents the formation of calcium plaques. Maybe manganese and K2 will be better than those statins which I will not take.

Did a plaque scan due to having HCM and gotta say I didn’t enjoy it. Lol.

Massachusetts drinking water may contain unsafe levels of manganese

Manganese is an unregulated contaminant often found in drinking water, but safe levels of this metal are currently unknown, and prior research has indicated that overexposure to manganese may be harmful to children.

If increasing it is good for breaking down plaque buildup wouldn't that speak to people that live in Massachusetts would have completely clear arteries?? I know that's a stretch but what is considered unsafe versus therapeutic?

Iron-rich foods or supplements have been shown to lower your absorption of manganese. Phosphorus and calcium may also decrease your retention of manganese, but at a lower amount compared with iron.

So most of us on here since we probably have iron rich diets would have to take an increase for a therapeutic dose

Too much iron is bad for men. If you eat meat5 you have enough. Too much can quickly lead to hemochromatosis.
