@allan442 that’s interesting that you find it so as well! I think manganese is overlooked, and the hormonal influence of minerals in general seems very underrated to me now. I actually brought manganese back to my routine a few days ago at RDA levels only and I’m doing well now. I find my brain is much calmer yet with more full color emotions. I think I was so deficient that I just got extreme start up effects. I had almost no manganese in my diet for years as a result of avoiding both starches and nut/seeds. I get a very noticeable effect still from just 2mg.
Another amazing thing is that I noticed I actually can finally tolerate vitamin c. When I wrote the post above I hadn’t yet tried it again since adding manganese. Apparently manganese is needed for its utilization, so perhaps that is why. I had not been able to tolerate even small amounts of vitamin C since this whole thing started. Just taking 2mg of manganese and 200mg of vitamin C is having a great effect on me so far. Of course it’s early to count my chickens, but I figured I would give this update in light of the thread bump.
