The manganese and copper it contains in very large quantities prevent and defend the whole organism against free radicals. Its benefits
are accentuated by the significant contribution of phosphorus which participates in the growth and regeneration of cells and zinc which protects the eye by allowing the absorption of antioxidants (such as vitamin A).
