gooseberries ( Amla) - source of Manganese

Adult women need 1.8 milligrams of manganese each day, while men require 2.3 milligrams to fulfill their daily requirement. Fresh gooseberries have 0.216 milligrams of manganese per cup, supplying 12 percent of the RDA for women and 9 percent for men. The body needs manganese to promote calcium absorption, to aid with energy metabolism and blood sugar regulation and to trigger the function of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, or SOD. If your diet lacks adequate manganese, you may be more likely to develop diabetes, osteoporosis or arthritis. Women who don't get enough of the mineral may experience severe premenstrual syndrome symptoms.
