Protects against digestive tract cancer and tooth decay, strongly inhibits stone production, this trace element is powerful!

There are many elements in our bodies and about 70 of them are present only in trace amounts. These elements are known as trace elements. So what is the so-called trace level? Less than one ten-thousandths of one's body weight is found in the human body. Although the content is very small, these elements should not be underestimated. The amount of trace elements in the body needs to be just right. Whether there is too much or too little, the person will suffer. So we still cannot ignore the importance of micronutrients. It is not a bad thing to know more and to take timely supplements.

Today we'll talk about molybdenum as a trace element. By the word molybdenum, we know that it is a metallic element. Its chemical symbol is Mo. Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal that is very hard. Molybdenum powder is black.

The main role of molybdenum in the human body is to participate in the interactions between sulphur, iron and copper while inhibiting the absorption of iron and copper in the small intestine. The mechanism for this may be that molybdenum competitively inhibits receptors on the brush border of the small intestinal mucosa or the formation of less absorbable copper-molybdenum complexes, sulphomolybdenum complexes or copper thiomolybdate, which prevents them from binding to copper-containing proteins such as plasma copper cyanine.

Molybdenum is also an essential component of xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase and sulphite oxidase in the liver and intestine of animals. They perform their physiological functions as auxiliary groups for these three molybdenum metalloenzymes. The main function of molybdenum enzymes is to catalyse the hydroxylation of certain substrates. Xanthine oxidase is the most important substance in the conversion of uric acid and catalyses the formation of xanthine from hypoxanthine, which in turn produces uric acid. The function of aldehyde oxidase is to catalyse the oxidation and detoxification of pyrimidines, purines, pteridine and related compounds. The function of sulphite oxidase is to catalyse the conversion of sulphite to sulphate.

Molybdenum also has other effects, such as preventing dental caries, strongly inhibiting stones, maintaining the body's immune function, regulating the thyroid, maintaining arteries, maintaining cardiac energy metabolism and preventing the elasticity of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. People with related diseases can therefore detect a molybdenum deficiency and be relieved and cured by supplementation. However, it is important to be clear here that the disease can be caused by several factors and that molybdenum deficiency is only one of the possible causes. It is still important to be tested and to follow the advice of a medical professional, and never to be treated blindly.

Molybdenum also has a very powerful ability to prevent cancers of the digestive tract such as oesophageal and colon cancer. These cancers of the digestive tract are mainly caused by nitrosamines. Molybdenum interrupts the formation of nitrosamines in the body. Under certain conditions, nitrates can be reduced to nitrites and nitrosamines can be produced. However, nitrates and nitrites tend to accumulate in molybdenum-deficient crops, and nitrosamines are also produced in the body when they are used and consumed by humans. However, supplementing humans or plants with molybdenum can have the effect of blocking the production of nitrosamines.

Molybdenum is now known to be present in a high proportion of the human heart muscle, where it works together with several enzymes to maintain the energy metabolism of the heart muscle. Some scientists have analysed the hearts of patients who died of myocardial infarction and found that these hearts had lower levels of molybdenum than healthy people. It is hypothesised that molybdenum plays a special role in maintaining the normal function of the heart. And the amount of molybdenum in the body directly affects the function of the cardiovascular system.

In in vitro experiments, some researchers have found that molybdate protects the adrenocortical hormone receptors and maintains their activity. It is therefore inferred that it does the same in vivo. Furthermore, it is speculated that molybdate can affect the glucocorticoid receptor, as it resembles an endogenous compound known as a regulatory element.

Molybdenum is essential not only for humans but also for plants. Molybdenum is one of the main components of the molybdenum flavoprotein and nitrate reductase enzymes in nitrogen-fixing bacteria in plants, which promote the fixation of airborne nitrogen by rhizobia and other nitrogen-fixing organisms and the further conversion of nitrogen into the proteins required by plants. It can also stimulate phosphatase activity and promote the uptake of phosphorus in the plant, exerting its role in the plant. It also accelerates the formation and conversion of sugars in plants, improves the content and stability of chlorophyll in plants and increases the content of vitamin C. In addition, molybdenum improves the drought and cold resistance and disease resistance of plants promotes the synthesis and transport of sugars and starch in crops and facilitates early crop maturity.

Molybdenum is used in a wide range of applications in everyday life, mainly in the steel and paint industries, and its use in the chemical industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Different molybdenum alloys offer different advantages, such as increased corrosion resistance, strength and wear resistance, a high melting point, low density and low coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent performance, low cost and lightweight. This is why molybdenum alloys are so popular. With the development of science and technology, the use of molybdenum in areas such as high technology will continue to expand and develop.

In addition, natural molybdenite is a soft, black mineral with an appearance similar to that of graphite. However, molybdenite has advantages over silicon and graphene in the electronics industry, being smaller, consuming less power and being cheaper. And circuits made from luminescent molybdenum are so flexible and thin that they can be applied to human skin. Luminescent molybdenum is an excellent next-generation semiconductor material that holds great promise for the manufacture of ultra-small transistors, light-emitting diodes and solar cells.

It has to be said that molybdenum is indeed an indispensable element for us, although we rarely hear about it or come into contact with it. Scientists are constantly optimising the resources available to mankind, which has led to the discovery of other functions of molybdenum, further confirming its importance in human society. That is, existence is justified, there is nothing useless, only things that have not been exploited and found useful.
