Molybdenum and human health relations in the following areas: 

 

1 to maintain myocardial energy metabolism: Molybdenum is a component of several enzymes myocardium for myocardial energy supply is an important role. Keshan disease is a cardiomyopathy, selenium deficiency has been shown to be one cause, but more direct reason is the lack of molybdenum. 

 

2 molybdenum and immunity: Keshan patients on immune function test found that the lack of population-specific cellular immune function of molybdenum decreased immune function after supplement formulations molybdenum recovery. However, Mo is excessive damage to the immune function, which has been confirmed in animal experiments.

Chinese Nutrition Society developed a daily diet "safe and appropriate intake" reference index molybdenum infants less than 6 months from 0.03 to 0.06 mg per person per day, less than 1 year of age from 0.04 to 0.08 mg per day, more than 0.05 to 1 year old 0.10 mg, 4 mg over the age of 0.06 to 0.15, 0.10 to 0.30 over the age of 7 mg per day, to adults over the age of 11 are 0.15 to 0.50 mg per day. This indicator is the same as with the U.S. Food and Nutrition Research Council's Committee on the estimated "safe and appropriate," the daily intake.
