Safety Issues

Manganese is thought to be safe when taken by adults at a dose of 11 mg daily or less. The maximum safe dosage of manganese for pregnant or nursing women has also been established as 11 mg daily, or 9 mg if 18 years old or younger. ¹ Very high exposure to manganese (due either to environmental pollution or manganese mining) has resulted in a serious psychiatric disorder known as "manganese madness."

Interactions You Should Know About

If you are taking:

Iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, or calcium: You may need extra manganese, and vice versa.

Antacids: You may also need extra manganese.
