Why this scored 52/100
Manganese is an essential trace mineral (adequate intake 1.8-2.3 mg/day) used as a cofactor for manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), arginase, glutamine synthetase, and pyruvate carboxylase. Dietary intake is nearly always sufficient in the general population (whole grains, nuts, legumes, tea). Deficiency in humans is essentially unheard of outside experimental settings. The safety concern with supplemental manganese is real: chronic overexposure is associated with manganism, a neurologic syndrome resembling parkinsonism, historically documented in welders and mining populations. Water sources with elevated manganese have been epidemiologically associated with cognitive deficits in children. The tolerable upper intake in adults is 11 mg/day — supplementation risks approaching this. Rejected on the mismatch between no real deficiency population and documented neurotoxicity risk with supplemental use.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
