Impact
Highest effect
Typical dose:50–200 mcg
Molybdenum is crucial for the final step in metabolizing sulfur-containing amino acids. A deficiency can lead to an accumulation of toxic sulfites, causing neurological issues and other sensitivities. This makes it a key player in a specific but important detoxification pathway.
Study evidence
1 studyThe supplied evidence does not show that Molybdenum supplements improve detoxification. It instead links higher environmental exposure with poorer kidney health in an industrial-region population, an observational finding that cannot establish either supplement benefits or the effects of ordinary dietary intake.
