Molybdenum, an essential mineral for both animals and humans alike, is most heavily concentrated in the liver, kidney, adrenal gland, and bones.

The nutrient, a component of many enzymes, including sulfide oxide, supports the metabolism of sulfur amino acids, xanthine oxide, oxidates, purines ,and pyramidenes, as well a the production of uric acid. The enzymes alldehyde oxidase and xanthin oxidase share a common molybdenum factor.

Molybdenum, found in legumes, cereal products, and leafy vegetables, is usually easily absorbed.
