Thorne Research Molybdenum Picolinate (1 mg) - 60 ct

Molybdenum has been identified as an essential trace element in humans, occurring as 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.

Molybdenum has been identified as an essential trace element in humans, occurring as 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.

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. Sulfites are frequently found in wine and in food preservatives used in meat, fish, salad bar items, and dehydrated fruits and vegetables. 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.* Because molybdenum, as an essential cofactor for sulfite oxidase, can enhance sulfite metabolism, supplementation may benefit some sulfite-sensitive individuals.

Picolinic acid is a natural mineral chelator produced in the body. It is produced from the amino acid tryptophan in the liver and kidneys and is transported to the pancreas. During digestion, it is secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine, where it binds to minerals to facilitate their absorption.

Molybdenum Picolinate is a highly absorbable form of molybdenum and is available only from Thorne Research.

Questions on Thorne Research Molybdenum Picolinate (1 mg) - 60 ct

  • Molybdenum at 8/17/12 8:09 PM
    • I noticed this is a high dosage compared to others I have seen. I have been taking 250mg once a day of another brand. I have compound hetero MTHFR and have noticed this supplement makes me feel somewhat better, but I am not sure why yet.

      Is this helpful with the MTHFR condition? Is the higher dose better or what do you recommend? What would someone look for on bloodwork to indicate issues with needing extra supplementation with this product?

      Thanks.
    • Hello - 

      This is a big amount of molybdenum - yes.

      I typically recommend people to start out with 1/4 capsule - so just open it and sprinkle on a bite of food or mix in juice.

      This is very helpful for those sensitive to sulfur or sulfites.

      If you are sensitive to wine, sulfur-containing foods, have yeast overgrowth or bags under your eyes, molybdenum may be useful.

      Best
