Manganese-enriched yeast

Manganese yeast builds manganese into yeast protein as a mixture. People sensitive to yeast should avoid it. Dose by milligrams or micrograms of the element, not as a protein powder.

Bone matrix and MnSOD

Manganese yeast is a source of manganese. Manganese is a cofactor for glycosyltransferases and mitochondrial SOD. Everyday deficiency is uncommon; this form only supplies trace manganese.
