Manganese(II) citrate is a coordination compound formed from manganese and citric acid, characterized by its manganese in the +2 oxidation state. It typically appears as a light pink to reddish-brown solid and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various applications, including dietary supplements and as a source of manganese in biological systems. Manganese is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in several enzymatic processes, including those involved in metabolism and antioxidant defense. The citrate component acts as a chelating agent, enhancing the bioavailability of manganese in the body. Manganese(II) citrate is generally considered safe when used appropriately, but excessive intake can lead to toxicity, manifesting as neurological issues. In laboratory settings, it may be utilized in studies related to nutrition, biochemistry, and environmental science. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and safety measures should be observed to mitigate any potential risks associated with exposure.

Manganese citrate decahydrate is a diagnostic agent that reacts with human serum to form a complex. The reaction is catalyzed by citric acid and sodium carbonate. The solution containing the manganese citrate decahydrate, which has been dissolved in water and treated with magnesium salt (Mn++), reacts with fatty acids in the serum to form a complex of Mn++, citric acid and sodium carbonate. Manganese citrate decahydrate can be used as an indicator of peroxidase activity, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide to produce water vapor and oxygen gas. Manganese citrate decahydrate also acts as a structural analysis tool for the detection of iron-containing proteins such as ferritin or myoglobin.
