Do you think that you could put this paper or at least a chunck of it on
the List? 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.
