Seeking Health: Molybdenum 500mcg - 90 Capsules

Molybdenum provides a potent 500 mcg of molybdenum glycinate chelate in a convenient capsule.Those experiencing SUOX gene challenges or dietary sulfite sensitivities may benefit from a higher amount of molybdenum support. The glycinate chelate form offers excellent bioavailability.Molybdenum is an essential trace element needed for sulfur and sulfite metabolism. The sulfite oxidase (SUOX) enzyme breaks down sulfites into less problematic sulfates. Molybdenum is required as a cofactor for this biochemical reaction.Some people experience side effects from consuming high sulfite foods such as lime and lemon juice, dried fruits, and wine. Others with slow SUOX enzyme activity or molybdenum deficiency can also experience symptoms from high sulfur and sulfite foods. High sulfite levels in the body can cause headaches, sinus problems, skin issues, unwanted body odor, flushing, and other adverse effects.In addition to the SUOX enzyme, molybdenum is a cofactor for other critical detoxification enzymes, including aldehyde oxidase (AO) and xanthine oxidase (XO). These enzymes help naturally break down certain drugs and potentially harmful compounds. Certain aldehydes, drugs, and alcohol must be broken down via these enzymes, which require molybdenum to function.
