Metabolism

Molybdenum helps to activate four essential enzymes throughout the body: sulphite oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase, and the mitochondrial component that reduces amidoxime, or mARC. Molybdenum also helps to break down medications taken and toxic substances.

Antioxidant

Protects cells from harmful environmental influences such as free radicals.

Molybdenum deficiency symptoms:
