Vitamin >>> Molybdenum >>>

Molybdenum, although scarce in the earth, is abundant in the human body,
being found in all biologic tissues. Research shows that it plays a role in
detoxifying the human body of dangerous sulfiting agents used in food and
drug preservation. It may also be important in normal sexual function in men
and act as an antioxidant-- a chemical compound essential for optimal health.

Human deficiency of this element has only recently been recorded and is very
rare. Marginal molybdenum deficient diets in China have been associated with
the development of throat cancer. Because deficiency is so uncommon, it is
believed that most Americans achieve the National Research Council's
recommended daily intake of 0.075 to 0.25 milligrams in their diets.

Increased levels of molybdenum may be induced at intakes of 10 to 15
milligrams. At these levels, molybdenum may increase blood levels of uric acid
and swelling in the joints, causing toxicity for those with high levels of uric acid
and/or gout.
