Douglas Laboratories Molybdenum 100 tablets

Molybdenum

Molybdenum amino acid chelate, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is a nutritionally functional amino acid chelate with excellent bioavailability. Each tablet delivers 250 mcg of elemental molybdenum.

Molybdenum is an essential trace element, and functions as a cofactor of various enzymes involved in the detoxification of pyrimidines, purines, pteridines. Xanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase are two important molybdoenzymes converting hypoxanthine to xanthine to uric acid. Molybdenum is also involved in sulfur metabolism as a cofactor of sulfite oxidase which converts potentially toxic sulfite to sulfate. This reaction is necessary for the normal metabolism of sulfur amino acids.
