BLACKBERRIES AND MANGANESE


Where's the sense in a title like Blackberries And Manganese above a picture of Aloe Vera Gel?

Well, I was reading about bone-building in a national newspaper the other day and saw that just a handful of blackberries will give you almost half of your recommended daily intake of manganese.

Which of course makes them an excellent source of the mineral. 'Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, vital for building strong bone structure', said the author.

So I just thought I'd mention that when blackberries are out of season Aloe Vera Gel is also a great source of this (and other) minerals and vitamins! In fact, it's perennially a very convenient source ...
