However, if the body does not get enough molybdenum, certain enzymes needed by the body are affected. This may lead to a build up of unwanted substances in some people. Injectable molybdenum is administered only by or under the supervision of 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. If you are taking this dietary supplement without a prescription, carefully read and follow any precautions on the label. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.
