Manganese (1.5%) — from Spirulina & Chlorella

With-Meal Capsule: 70–150 mg with food provides ≈1.0–2.25 mg manganese (1.5% = 15 mg/g). Keep the same mealtime daily for consistency.

Sachet To-Go: Pack 70–150 mg sticks; mix into citrus water or smoothies for a tidy, repeatable habit.

Gummies: To deliver ≈0.5–1.0 mg manganese per 4 g gummy, use ≈33–67 mg powder (≈0.8–1.7% w/w); pilot flavour/acid balance.

Smoothie Add-In: 70–100 mg into a breakfast smoothie for an easy daily stack.

Stack Idea: Keep high-dose iron or calcium in a different window if you want a cleaner read; add one change at a time and track comfort.

Algae-Derived Source: Spirulina & Chlorella origin suits clean-label builds.

Predictable Dosing: 1.5% assay simplifies mg math across formats.

Format-Friendly: Neutral taste and fine texture work in capsules, gummies, sachets and smoothies.

Clean & Compact: Standardized strength supports tidy formulation without stimulants.

Serving Size: 1 capsule or scoop (≈ 70–150 mg powder)

Ingredients: Manganese (1.5%) Extract Powder (from Arthrospira platensis & Chlorella vulgaris biomass)

Does Not Contain: Added sugar, caffeine, artificial colours

Allergen Information: Vegan; gluten-free; dairy-free. Algae-derived; review if sensitive to algae.

Usage Recommendation: Take 70–150 mg once daily with meals (≈1.0–2.25 mg manganese). If stacking with other actives, add one change at a time and space ~90 minutes from medications as a routine practice.

Storage Advice: Store cool, dry & dark. Keep tightly sealed away from direct sunlight.

Keep Away From Children

Q: How do I place algae-derived Manganese (1.5%) into a simple daily routine?

A: Tie it to a mealtime you rarely miss and keep the serving identical each day. A practical start is 70–150 mg powder with food, giving roughly 1.0–2.25 mg manganese at a 1.5% assay. Hold other variables steady—hydration, meal timing, sleep and steps—so you can observe the effect of this single change without noise. Keep tea/coffee away from that window if you want a cleaner read. Maintain the same serving for two to four weeks before adjusting and track adherence and comfort; consistency beats tinkering when you need clear evaluation.

Q: What’s the practical difference between Spirulina/Chlorella manganese and common mineral salts for formulation?

A: This ingredient supplies standardized manganese within microalgal matrices that many formulators prefer for clean-label positioning and a recognizable source story. Conventional salts (e.g., manganese gluconate or citrate) deliver higher potency per gram and tiny serving sizes but may impose taste/acid constraints. Choose by build and audience: capsules favour compact precision; gummies and sachets favour ease and habit sticking. Whatever you pick, lock the serving to a consistent meal, document pilot variables (acids, dispersion, flavours), and avoid frequent product switches that blur evaluation and complicate SOPs during scale-up and stability checks.

Q: How do I set gummy strength without overcomplicating the formula?

A: Decide the per-gummy target first—0.5 or 1.0 mg manganese—then back-calculate powder using 15 mg per gram. That translates to ≈33 mg or ≈67 mg powder in a 4 g pectin gummy (≈0.8–1.7% w/w). Keep acids and flavours consistent, disperse thoroughly to avoid hot spots, and document every batch variable. Store cool and dry; moisture and heat can affect colour and actives. Run a small stability check (taste, colour, assay) before scaling, then lock your SOP once pilots meet sensory and uniformity targets across production runs.

Q: Can I stack Manganese with other minerals or vitamins without complicating things?

A: Yes—anchor one serving first: 70–150 mg Manganese 1.5% with a consistent meal for two to four weeks. If adding zinc, magnesium, or B-complex later, keep timing and portions steady and separate new changes by at least a week so you can attribute differences. Leave ~90 minutes from medications as a routine practice, track comfort and adherence in a simple log, and prioritize a routine that fits busy days. Adjust gradually rather than making multiple changes at once; your goal is durable habits and clear evaluation over time.
