Safety and Pitfalls
Elevated adverse/interactions signal in literature; review medications and conditions before use.[572,720,944, etc.]

ODS safety note: Xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and mARC are also involved in metabolizing drugs and toxins [ 3-6 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: The kidneys are the main regulators of molybdenum levels in the body and are responsible for its excretion [ 1 , 2 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: Molybdenum, in the form of molybdopterin, is stored in the liver, kidney, adrenal glands, and bone [ 2 , 7 , 13 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: Other foods high in molybdenum include whole grains, nuts, and beef liver [ 1 , 14 , 17 , 18 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: diets are legumes, cereal grains, leafy vegetables, beef liver, and milk [ 17 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: Groups at Risk of Molybdenum Inadequacy No known groups of people are likely to have inadequate molybdenum intakes.[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: Health Risks from Excessive Molybdenum Acute molybdenum toxicity is rare, but it can occur with industrial mining and metalworking exposure.[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS safety note: In healthy people, consumption of a diet high in molybdenum usually does not pose a health risk because the molybdenum is rapidly excreted in urine [ 1 , 14 , 18 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS interaction note: Xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and mARC are also involved in metabolizing drugs and toxins [ 3-6 ].[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS interaction note: Food and Drug Administration (FDA) developed DVs to help consumers compare the nutrient contents of foods and dietary supplements within the context of a total diet.[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS interaction note: Interactions with Medications Molybdenum has no known, clinically relevant, interactions with medications.[572,720,944, etc.]
ODS interaction note: Molybdenum hydroxylases as drug-metabolizing enzymes.[572,720,944, etc.]
Legacy caution group: Gout at high doses[572,720,944, etc.]
