Manganese comes in oxide like zinc does. In fact zinc and manganese have similar absorption in the body. Manganese oxide is soluble in acid conditions (like the stomach),just like zinc.
Just because
magnesium oxide does not get absorbed or ionized in the human body, does not mean OTHER mineral oxides don't. Often people mix up magnesium and manganese, too.

My concern with manganese is that it added to other intakes that people don't understand could lead to too much total for the body to handle.
You know back when... glucosamine products first came out, a well known brand of it, was contaminated with manganese!

So taking a supplement on top of other potential sources in the diet or from pollution, may lead to problems down the road. That is my point. One needs to be careful with manganese.
