Molybdenum

Strong study situation·10/10
A higher score indicates better study conditions, but not necessarily effectiveness.

Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral that acts as a cofactor for enzymes vital to metabolism and detoxification.

dose range
45–2000 µg
Once daily, preferably with food.
Consumption
Take with meals to support absorption; avoid exceeding the upper limit unless instructed by a healthcare professional.
Not fat-soluble.
Best time
Supplementation is rarely required as dietary intake is usually sufficient.
Description

Molybdenum is a trace element required by the body for critical enzymatic processes, particularly those involved in metabolism and the detoxification of sulfites and other compounds. Dietary deficiency is rare, as it is widely available in plant-based foods and organ meats.

benefits
Main effects with level of evidence
Strong
Note on evidence

The role of molybdenum as a cofactor for several enzymes is well-established, and RDAs are based on robust evidence from human and animal studies.

Prevents molybdenum deficiency

Strong

Ensures normal enzyme activity for detoxification of sulfites, metabolism of nucleic acids, and breakdown of amino acids.

Particularly relevant for: General Population · Pregnant and Lactating Women

Supports detoxification processes

Strong

Acts as a cofactor for sulfite oxidase and other enzymes that remove harmful sulfites and aldehydes from the body.

Particularly relevant for: General Population · People with liver health concerns
