Manganese Plus by Trace Elements Inc. – TRAACS® Manganese Bisglycinate Chelate with Vitamin B1 Synergist Manganese Plus is a hypo-allergenic, practitioner-formulated manganese supplement from Trace Elements Inc. (TEI) — the same lab behind the HTMA tests used in mineral balancing protocols. It delivers 15mg of manganese per tablet as TRAACS® manganese bisglycinate chelate — a patented amino acid chelate form for superior bioavailability — paired with thiamine (B1) as a synergistic co-factor supporting manganese-dependent metabolic pathways. Key Benefits ✅ TRAACS® manganese bisglycinate chelate — patented amino acid chelate form for superior absorption and tolerability vs. standard manganese salts (manganese sulfate, manganese gluconate) ✅ Supports SOD2 antioxidant defense — manganese is an essential co-factor for superoxide dismutase 2 (MnSOD), the primary mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme protecting cells from oxidative stress ✅ Supports bone matrix formation and connective tissue — manganese activates enzymes required for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), essential for cartilage, bone, and connective tissue integrity ✅ Supports thyroid hormone synthesis — manganese is involved in thyroxine (T4) production and thyroid peroxidase activity, making it relevant for thyroid and metabolic health ✅ Supports carbohydrate and energy metabolism — manganese activates pyruvate carboxylase and other enzymes central to gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial energy production ✅ Thiamine (B1) synergist — B1 supports carbohydrate metabolism and works synergistically with manganese-dependent enzymatic pathways for energy production ✅ Hypo-allergenic formula — free of wheat, yeast, soy, egg, gluten, alfalfa, shellfish, peanuts, dairy, corn, salt, sugar, starch, wax, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives ✅ TEI practitioner formula — formulated by Trace Elements Inc. specifically to complement HTMA-guided mineral balancing protocols Who It’s For HTMA protocol users with low manganese — Manganese Plus is a TEI-specific formula commonly recommended in HTMA-guided protocols targeting low manganese, oxidative stress patterns, or thyroid-related mineral findings Thyroid and metabolic health support — those with sluggish thyroid function or metabolic imbalances where manganese-dependent enzyme activity may be a contributing factor Joint, cartilage, and connective tissue support — manganese’s role in GAG synthesis makes it relevant for those with joint pain, cartilage wear, or connective tissue concerns Oxidative stress and antioxidant support — those with high oxidative burden, mitochondrial dysfunction, or chronic inflammation where MnSOD activity is critical Highly sensitive individuals — the hypo-allergenic, clean-label formula is ideal for those who react to common allergens or fillers in standard supplements Practitioners and their patients — a trusted TEI formula for functional health practitioners working with HTMA-based mineral and thyroid protocols Supplement Facts Serving Size: 1 Tablet Servings Per Container: 90 Suggested Use: 1 tablet per day with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
