Manganese Chelate Supplement: The 11 mg Limit, Food and the Liver
A manganese chelate supplement is a mineral bound to amino acids; the adult upper limit is 11 mg a day. Reviralis prints manganese as an amino acid chelate, 0.4 mg per two capsules, 17% of the Daily Value and under 4% of the limit. The liver clears manganese, so liver disease calls for a question.

What does a manganese chelate supplement mean on a label?
It means the mineral is attached to amino acids, a form sold as easier to take up.
The Reviralis line reads "Manganese (as Manganese Amino Acid Chelate) 0.4 mg". Adults need 1.8 mg (women) or 2.3 mg (men), and the upper limit is 11 mg (NIH ODS, Manganese). The label does not say how much is absorbed, and no source tested this product.
| Measure | Amount | Share the label line fills |
|---|---|---|
| Label line (2 capsules) | 0.4 mg, 17% DV | Printed |
| Adequate intake, women / men | 1.8 / 2.3 mg | 22% / 17% |
| Upper limit | 11 mg | 3.6% |
How much manganese do I already get from food?
Most people reach the intake figure through food, since whole grains, nuts, legumes and tea carry it.
NIH ties harmful intakes mostly to drinking water and workplace exposure, not to food or normal supplement doses (NIH ODS, Manganese). That is why 11 mg is the limit to watch, not the 0.4 mg on the label. If you eat plenty of whole grains and drink tea, your food total may already be near the figure.
Why does liver health matter for manganese?
The liver clears extra manganese, so liver disease can let it build up.
That is a reason to ask a clinician before using any manganese product if your liver is not healthy. It is the same reason the label asks anyone with a medical condition to check first. Green tea extract, 4th in the blend with a ceiling of 165.25 mg, also draws a liver caution from NCCIH (NCCIH, Green Tea). See the liver and herbal extracts post.

See packsWhat should I ask my pharmacist about manganese?
Ask for a total across products and a check against your health history.
Add the manganese on each label. Ask: Is my total near 11 mg? Does my liver history change the answer? Does my multivitamin already carry manganese? Check the pregnancy and nursing line on the label too.
Other lines are in the trace minerals group, with the full list on the Supplement Facts page and cautions on the side effects page.
FAQ01
Reviralis questions people ask
How much manganese is in Reviralis?
The label prints manganese as manganese amino acid chelate, 0.4 mg per two capsules, or 17% of the Daily Value. That is about 4% of the 11 mg adult upper limit.
What is the upper limit for manganese?
NIH sets the adult upper limit at 11 mg a day. Harm is mostly linked to drinking water and workplace exposure. Count food, a multivitamin and any other mineral pills when you add up.
Is manganese a chelate better absorbed?
Makers say so, but the Reviralis label does not give an absorbed share, and no source tests this product. Treat 0.4 mg as the most the line could supply, not the amount absorbed.
Can manganese harm the liver?
The reverse is the main worry: the liver clears manganese, so liver disease can let it build up. Ask a clinician before using a manganese product if your liver is not healthy.
