Reported rarely in individuals consuming foods grown in soil containing a high content of molybdenum. Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some individuals. If you notice any other effects, check with your health care professional. Follow carefully any diet program your health care professional may recommend. The amount of molybdenum in foods depends on the soil in which the food is grown.
Some soils have more molybdenum than others.
Peas, beans, cereal products, leafy vegetables, and low-fat milk are good sources of molybdenum. The daily amount of molybdenum needed is defined in several different ways. Because a lack of molybdenum is rare, there is no RDA or RNI for it. All rights reserved. Micromedex Inc.
