How does Passion 4 Health use it?
Molybdenum is an essential trace element that becomes part of the molybdenum cofactor, a compound required for the activity of four enzymes in the body: sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and mitochondrial amidoxime-reducing component (mARC). These molybdenum-dependent enzymes support the metabolism of sulfites, sulfur-containing amino acids such as cysteine and methionine, purines, pyrimidines, aldehydes, and other naturally occurring compounds.
Passion 4 Health provides Molybdenum as sodium molybdate, a water-soluble form of molybdenum used in dietary supplements. It is included in the Daily Liquid Multivitamin + Minerals and Hair, Skin & Nails Daily Liquid Multivitamin as part of each formula’s trace-mineral profile to support normal enzyme function, sulfite metabolism, sulfur-containing amino acid metabolism, and everyday wellness.
