Neonatal PN without any added Mn provides close to the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN)-recommended Mn dosage of 1 mcg/kg/day. This supports the potential utility of a Mn-omission approach to trace element provision in neonatal PN. Further studies are needed to test such an approach and to evaluate the clinical significance of unintended Mn delivery in neonates receiving PN.
