INFORMATION ON MOLYBDENUM A.A.C.

Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral, found in the bones, liver and kidneys of the human body.

It is important in a number of bio-chemical processes including kidney and nervous system functioning.

Molybdenum is vital for the functioning of several enzyme systems (xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulphite oxidase), helping the body metabolise carbohydrates and fats, and break down certain amino acids.

A molybdenum deficiency can cause causes high levels of sulphite, urate and neurological damage.

Molybdenum is being studied for the treatment of various medical conditions including genetic disease (Wilson's), inflammatory diseases and even some cancer types.

How it works:

Molybdenum is a cofactor in three enzyme systems: xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulphite oxidase. These systems play a vital role in in uric acid formation, iron utilization, carbohydrate metabolism, and sulphite detoxification.

There is evidence that molybdenum as an amino acid chelate may improve mineral absorption.
