Molybdenum* Molybdenum
is a little-known, though essential, trace mineral. It is instrumental in
regulating pH balance in the body. For each pH point increase (e.g., 6.1-6.2),
the oxygen level is increased ten times, thus increasing the metabolism and
enhancing the body’s ability to burn fat.* Although
very small amounts are needed,
molybdenum is a vital part of three important
enzyme systems and is necessary for the proper function of certain
enzyme-dependent processes, including the metabolism of iron. When the iron
stored in the liver is freed, it can then carry oxygen to body cells and tissue.
Molybdenum works with the enzyme systems to help eliminate toxic nitrogen waste
by turning it into uric acid. The uric acid then can be converted and more
easily flushed out of the system.* Molybdenum promotes general well being, aids in carbohydrate metabolism, has proven itself useful in MSG (or other chemical) sensitivity, increases libido, and may enhance the effect of fluorine in tooth decay prevention (dental enamel is rich in molybdenum). It also induces sleep.* Because
of
molybdenum’s ability to raise the body’s pH, it may be beneficial in the
treatment of cancer, viruses, and parasites.* We recommend a beginning dosage of ½ teaspoon molybdenum twice daily in 8 ounces of water.* There
is no recommended dietary allowance (RDA) established for
molybdenum, and it is
considered safe up to 15 mg. per day.* It
has been found to interfere with the absorption of copper.*
