Minerals - Molybdenum

 

 
Description

Molybdenum is a mineral element found in small amounts in the liver, bones and kidneys. A trace element, molybdenum is found in our food supply and is considered a relatively non-toxic mineral.

This element aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, and, to a lesser degree, the metabolism of nitrogen. It is also required for uric acid formation, sulfur metabolism and alcohol detoxification. Molybdenum promotes normal cell function and plays a vital role in the utilization of iron in the body.

Supplementation is often not necessary as this mineral is usually obtained through the diet. Food grown in nutrient-deficient soil may be lacking in this and many other nutrients.
