Do we want to keep the manganase daily levels taken from food at 2mg per day even though we don't have the hemochromatosis mutations ? I am a regular drinker of Hibiscus tea which seems to be beneficial for someone that has a slow NO3 gene, but Hibiscus seems to be loaded with manganase with 1mg per cup of tea. I do not have any of the hemochromatis mutations.

No, if you don’t have disruptions in this pathway then you shouldn’t need to worry about iron or manganese because the body regulates absorption.

Thanks Chris! I have a few people in my family who genetically have the predispositions for iron overload, and this was certainly very interesting information which I shared with them.
