Hi all i had this result back some time ago and recently started taking the Manganese supplement.
"Antioxidant status: Superoxide dismutase
The SODase result is very poor at 37% (>40%). The normal level is above 40% inhibition, but the normal range is very narrow and a small deviation from this represents a clinically significant deficiency. Further analysis of this enzyme shows that the Zn/Cu form is 292 (240-410 enzyme units), the Mn form is 104 (125-208) and the EC (extra-cellular) form (another Zn/Cu SODase but not part of the functional SODase test) is 20 (28 70). This result shows a severe deficiency in manganese
The gene studies show that the gene for Zn/Cu-SODase is normal, the gene for Mn-SODase is partially blocked with low enzyme activity, and the gene for the EC-SODase is normal with low enzyme activity."
Well, i dont really understand what this all means apart from i have a manganese deficiency.
I started taking 4 drops daily (manganese chloride 5mg) the problem is when i take them my anxiety levels seem to go up i.e feling a bit stressed, nervous, shaky etc.
Is this actually possible? does anyone know what might be causing this. It didnt seem possible to me, but i tried stopping and stating it a number of times and every time the same result
Also does anyone know what low enzyme activity means?
Much appreciated.
