Why This Biomarker Matters

Molybdenum is critical for enzyme function and detoxification. Abnormal levels can indicate nutritional deficiency or toxicity, which may contribute to metabolic dysfunction or health symptoms.

Overview

Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral required for several enzymes that support detoxification, metabolism, and cellular function. This test measures molybdenum levels within red blood cells, providing insight into your body's molybdenum status. Deficiency is rare but can impair enzyme function and cause neurological symptoms. Toxicity from excess molybdenum is also uncommon. This test may be ordered if you have unexplained metabolic issues, joint pain, or suspected nutritional deficiencies.
