Vitamin >>> Manganese >>>

Manganese is a puzzling mineral. Manganese deficiency has only rarely been
documented in humans, while toxic effects are common among manganese
mineworkers in northern Chile. This "intoxication" is marked by a state of
heightened laughter, increased sexuality, insomnia, and hallucinations followed
by symptoms of deep depression and then, finally, behavior similar to
Parkinson's Disease (muscular tremor, slowing of movement, partial facial
paralysis, peculiarity of gait and posture, and weakness).

The actual role of manganese is unknown at this time, but since deficiencies
are practically unheard of, it is believed to be essential to human life. Some
possible purposes of manganese may include treatment of schizophrenia and
other brain and nerve disorders as well as glucose metabolism and
reproduction. Further evidence is needed to substantiate any of these claims.

Good food sources of manganese include cereals, nuts, fruit, dark green leafy
vegetables, root vegetables, tea and liver.
