HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Manganese 10 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: manganese at 10 mg per tablet. Manganese is a mineral your body needs in small amounts for bone health, metabolism, and nervous system function.

The remaining ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium, purified water, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and polyethylene glycol—are inactive ingredients that help form and deliver the tablet.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mineral for bone and teeth health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Manganese deficiency, Osteoporosis, Bone mineralization, Dental health.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Manganese is rated "Effective" for Manganese deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Manganese is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoporosis.

Manganese supplements are effective for treating manganese deficiency, which is rare in people eating a normal diet. For other uses listed here—hay fever, osteoporosis, COPD, weight loss, and osteoarthritis—the evidence is not strong enough to rate whether manganese helps.

If you're considering this supplement for one of those conditions, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Manganese

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Manganese is generally well tolerated at normal dietary amounts and doses typical for supplements like this 10 mg tablet. However, high-dose manganese supplements carry a real risk: they can damage your nervous system and cause Parkinson-like symptoms, liver injury, and in rare severe cases, life-threatening neurological damage requiring emergency treatment.

One documented case involved a person taking 100 mg daily over years and developing irreversible Parkinson disease; another involved a teenager who developed severe brain and liver damage from manganese exposure. For breastfeeding, the safety data we hold is mixed—some sources rate it likely safe, others possibly unsafe or likely unsafe.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is right for you while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Manganese

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Manganese.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 83 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you take antipsychotic medications (moderate concern for toxicity), quinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin (moderate concern for reduced absorption), or tetracycline antibiotics like doxycycline (moderate concern for reduced absorption). No interactions are documented for the inactive ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement makes sense if you have a confirmed manganese deficiency—otherwise, the evidence for other conditions is lacking. If you take antipsychotic drugs or any quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics, check with your pharmacist before starting, because manganese can interfere with how these work or add to the risk of side effects.

The real caution here is dose: stick to normal supplement amounts like this 10 mg, and avoid the much higher doses that have caused serious nerve and liver damage. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Antipsychotic Drugs

Theoretically, the risk for manganese toxicity might increase when taken with antipsychotic drugs.
Hallucinations and behavioral changes have been reported in a patient with liver disease who was taking haloperidol and manganese. Researchers speculate that taking manganese along with haloperidol, phenothiazine-derivatives, or other antipsychotic medications might increase the risk of manganese toxicity in some patients.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, manganese might reduce the absorption of quinolone antibiotics.
Manganese is a multivalent cation. Interactions resulting in reduced quinolone absorption have been reported between quinolones and other multivalent cations, such as calcium and iron.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, manganese might reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics.
Manganese is a multivalent cation. Interactions resulting in reduced tetracycline absorption have been reported between tetracyclines and other multivalent cations, such as calcium and iron.

Manganese 10 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Manganese 10 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Manganese 10 mg has a known interaction with 83 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Manganese 10 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is manganese safe if I take it long-term?
At normal supplement doses like 10 mg, manganese is generally well tolerated. However, high-dose supplements—especially over years—carry a real risk of nerve damage and liver injury. Stick to recommended amounts and talk with your doctor if you're taking it regularly or at higher doses.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data we hold is mixed—some sources call it likely safe, others say it's possibly or likely unsafe. This is a question for your doctor or pharmacist to sort out with you based on your personal situation.
What does manganese actually do in my body?
Manganese is a mineral your body uses for bone health, helping your metabolism work, and keeping your nervous system functioning. You normally get small amounts from food, so a deficiency is rare.
Does this actually treat hay fever or osteoarthritis?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. Manganese is proven to help with manganese deficiency, but for hay fever, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, COPD, and weight loss, we don't have reliable evidence that it works. If you're considering it for one of those, ask your doctor first.
What are the inactive ingredients and why are they in here?
The inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and a few others—are fillers and binders that help form the tablet and keep it stable on the shelf. They don't add therapeutic value but are standard in tablets.
