MOLYBDENUM
In the human body, molybdenum tends to be concentrated in the liver, kidneys,
skin, and bones. A deficiency is characterized by mouth and gum disorders and
mental disturbance, among others.5 It produces a distinctive syndrome of impaired
metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids (constituents of proteins) and
nucleotides (the basic constituents of DNA and RNA).4 A reasonable amount of
supplemental molybdenum is 80 mcg/day.
