Lower Incidences of Epileptic Seizures

Stroke is the most common cause of epilepsy in persons over the age of 35. They are caused by the reduced blood supply to the brain. Manganese is a vasodilator, which means it helps expand veins so blood may flow more efficiently to regions like the brain. Adequate manganese levels in your body may aid in increasing blood flow and lowering your risk of certain health disorders such as strokes.

Furthermore, the brain contains some of your body's manganese levels. Several studies show that manganese levels may be lower in those who have seizures. However, it's unclear whether seizures lower manganese levels in the body or whether low levels make people more prone to seizures.
