Content and intake of manganese in human milk versus Mn-supplemented infant total parental nutrition (TPN)
Human milk | TPN (Mn-free) | Multitrace®-4 | |
---|---|---|---|
Mn content | 3–10 μg/l | 5.6–8.9 μg/l | 25 μg/ml |
Mn intake (based on 150 ml/kg/day) | 0.45–1.5 μg/kg/day | 0.84–1.34 μg/kg/day | 5.0–7.5 μg/kg |
Absorption | 8% | 100% | 100% |
Mean Mn burden | 0.06 μg/kg/day | 1.0 μg/kg/day | 5.0–7.5 μg/kg/day |
