> For manganese labeling purposes 100% of the Daily Value was 2.0 mg, but as of 27 May 2016 it was revised to 2.3 mg to bring it into agreement with the RDA (in the US, for males >= 19).
> RDA: The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults 19+ years is 2.3 mg a day for men and 1.8 mg for women. For women who are pregnant or lactating, the RDA is 2.0 mg and 2.6 mg, respectively.
> UL: The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for manganese for all adults 19+ years of age and pregnant and lactating women is 11 mg daily; a UL is the maximum daily intake unlikely to cause harmful effects on health.
> The mean intake of Mn was 6·07 (sd 2·94) mg/d for men (n 998) and 5·13 (sd 2·65) mg/d for women (n 1113). Rice (>42 %) was the main food source of Mn. The prevalence of the MetS was 28·0 % (590/2111). Higher Mn intake was associated with a decreased risk of the MetS in men (Q4 v. Q1 OR 0·62; 95 % CI 0·42, 0·92; P trend=0·043) but an increased risk in women (Q4 v. Q1 OR 1·56; 95 % CI 1·02, 2·45; P trend=0·078)
That says dietary intake of Manganese in e.g. China is more than double average intake here in the US and also in the EU, where "No MSG" also results in much lower MSG dietary intake.
> Manganese is found in leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, cinnamon and whole grains. The nutritious kernel, called wheat germ, which contains the most minerals and vitamins of the grain, has been removed from most processed grains (such as white bread). The wheat germ is often sold as livestock feed. Many common vitamin and mineral supplement products fail to include manganese in their compositions. Relatively high dietary intake of other minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium may inhibit the proper intake of manganese.
At times I take 20 to 30mg of Manganese a day, but not for long. Do not try this at home, I know what I am doing, and I know my genetics need it.
The manganese, by reducing glutamate, lowers my blood pressure from 160/90 to 123/79. My doctors are amazed but don't care since I have had unresponsive hypertension for 10 years.

Looks like EU proposed 3mg/day for Mn in 2013.

MSG > Stigma in Western countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate#Stigma_in...
FDA says that MSG is GRAS: Generally Recognized as Safe.
I grew up in the US with a fear of MSG.
