Abstract

 The average daily intake of manganese by Austrians has been tested with a selected diet at 12 different locations all over Austria. A diet was made up of foodstuffs produced within a radius of 10 km from each location and calculated for a person with a body weight of 70 kg (10 700 kJ). The size of the locations was chosen in such a way that all the foodstuffs could be bought within this area. The average daily intake was 4.69 mg Mn (range: 4.39–5.66 mg Mn). The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 2–5 mg Mn. The intake with this diet was therefore optimal according to the DGE recommendation.
