Description
Molybdenum 100µg 60 Caps
-
Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral needed by the body in small amounts.
-
“Molybdenum, much like iron and magnesium, is a crucial mineral for the body. However, studies have shown that it is not easily absorbed from food.”
-
Once ingested, molybdenum travels via the bloodstream to organs like the liver and kidneys, where it is used to form a molybdenum cofactor (MoCo). This cofactor activates certain enzymes that perform important biochemical reactions.
The molybdenum cofactor facilitates at least four essential enzymes (in line with general nutrient references) that are involved in:
-
Converting sulfites to sulfates, which helps the body deal with sulfites (often found in foods/preservatives)
-
Breaking down toxic substances or by-products from metabolism
-
Helping with the breakdown of nucleotides (DNA/RNA building blocks)
✅ Key Benefits:
Enzyme Activation & Detox Support
-
Essential for producing the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo), which activates enzymes that break down toxins and metabolic by-products.
-
Helps convert sulfites into sulfates, which reduces the risk of sulfite sensitivity (common in preservatives, wine, dried fruit).
-
Supports detoxification pathways in the liver and kidneys.
⚡ Energy & Nutrient Metabolism
-
Plays a role in metabolizing amino acids and nucleotides (DNA/RNA building blocks).
-
Assists enzymes that break down sulfur-containing amino acids, supporting healthy metabolism and energy release.
️ General Wellness
-
Helps the body process and neutralize harmful aldehydes and other chemicals.
-
Supports immune function indirectly through healthy enzymatic activity.
-
May help reduce reactions in people sensitive to sulfites in food.
