Description of Molybdenum

Soil Catalyst

In nature, molybdenum is part of other metal complexes. It works as a catalyst in the soil to the nitrogen-fixing process, which means that soil lacking in molybdenum can lead to decreased plant growth.
 
Body Functions
The body contains around 9 mg of molybdenum, mostly in the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, bones and skin but it is present in all body tissues. It is easily absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract and is eliminated via bile and through the urine.
 
Carbohydrate Metabolism
Molybdenum is a vital part of three enzyme systems: aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase and sulfite oxidase. It also plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and sulfite detoxification along with iron utilization and uric acid formation.
