Molybdenum – An obscure trace element, molybdenum is an essential enzyme component that helps generate energy, process waste for excretion, utilization of iron for the body’s use and detoxify sulfites (chemicals used as food preservatives). It is a component of tooth enamel and may help prevent tooth decay. People can get enough molybdenum for their diet. Deficiency is usually the result of eating foods from molybdenum-deficient soils or a diet high in refined and processed foods.
