Thorne Molybdenum Glycinate x 60 Capsules

Description

Molybdenum is a cofactor in three important enzymatic reactions – xanthine oxidase/dehydrogenase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfite oxidase.

The first two enzymatic reactions play a role in the liver’s detoxification of environmental toxins, certain drugs, estradiol, and progesterone.

Because molybdenum – as an essential cofactor for sulfite oxidase – enhances sulfite metabolism, supplementation with molybdenum glycinate benefits individuals who suffer sensitivity to sulfites used in meat, fish, salad bar items, and dehydrated fruits and vegetables.

Thorne’s Molybdenum Glycinate is a highly absorbable form of molybdenum.

Sulfite sensitivity can manifest in a number of ways, such as;

wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, shortness of breath, flushing, itching, hives, swelling of eyes, hands and feet, nausea, headache, and diarrhea.

Sulfite oxidase, the most important molybdenum-dependent enzyme in humans, oxidizes sulfite to sulfate, the final step in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids.
