Are these sort of anti-oxidants available? I seem to recall discussions with the State Drug Info to find out that they were not available commercially. I am not a biochemist, but personally, I would be very wary of taking anything with manganese in it, since this is a known cause of PD. However, at those levels, it may be okay. Even if one does not have manganese-induced PD, we do not know if it cause harm down the road. Nice to hear from you. Joy Graham
