Molybdos
Molybdenum owes its name to the Greek molybdos, lead: the ore molybdenite resembled galena and was long confused with it. The Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele showed in 1778 that it was a different element, and in 1781 Peter Jacob Hjelm isolated the metal.
Made in the United States
Seeking Health has Molybdenum made in the United States according to GMP. The molybdenum is bound to the amino acid glycine, as a chelate from Albion®. The capsule is plant-based and the product is vegan.
Good to know about this product
One capsule provides 500 µg molybdenum, ten times the reference intake. The EFSA uses 600 µg per day as the upper limit for adults. So take no more than one capsule per day.
Molybdenum by Seeking Health
Molybdenum by Seeking Health delivers a potent dose of 500 mcg molybdenum per capsule, in the readily absorbed form molybdenum glycinate chelate (Albion®). Molybdenum is an essential trace element that serves as a cofactor for enzymes such as sulphite oxidase (SUOX), which converts sulphites into sulphates. People who are sensitive to sulphites in, for example, wine, dried fruit or lemon juice may benefit from additional molybdenum. Molybdenum is also involved in other detoxification enzymes such as aldehyde oxidase.
