How to determine the amount of molybdenum in the human body

Dear friends!

In this article we will focus on molybdenum (Mo), the essential vital trace element, located in the periodic table under the number 42.

The name of this trace element originated in the Middle Ages. It comes from a Latin word of "molibdaena", a name common for all the minerals which leave gray stripes on paper, i.e. graphite, lead, selenite, etc.

Molybdenum was discovered by a Swedish chemist Carl  Scheele in 1778, yet the fact that plants and the bodies of the animals contain this trace element was established only in the 20-th century (in 1900  and in 1928, correspondingly)

Molybdenum is a refractory metal used for production of alloyed steels and hard alloys, as well as in chemical, paint and varnish and other industries.

Molybdenum gets into the environment mostly due to the technological and anthropogenic factors. We also get it from food and water we consume, soil, etc.

Molybdenum is a vital trace element. The average daily requirement for molybdenum makes about 50 μg. (for adults).

Liver comitias the most of molybdenum, present in the human body.

Speaking about the main roles molybdenum plays in the human body, this trace element participates in activity of the following vital livelihood systems:

1) in forming and activity of the central nervous system, playing the crucial role both for pre- and postanal development.

2) in the metabolism cycle, supporting fat, protein, carbohydrate, mineral metabolism in the human body.

The most important roles of molybdenum, we should focus on, are utilizing iron in liver, controlling excess copper, facilitate fluorine getting into the dental tissue, etc.

3) in the hematopoietic system and  glucocorticoid exchange.

Considering the genetic abnormalities,  the lack of molybdenum in the body can manifest itself through the following pathologies:

- anomalies in the brain forming;

- mental retardation;

- high content of sulfates in the body;

- pathologies of the eye lens, etc.

The most important function of molybdenum in the body lies in  purifying the cells from aldehydes, the decay products of yeast fungus, naturally present in large intestine.

 Also, molybdenum is capable of alleviating various chronic pains, stopping asthma and infant convulsive conditions, preventing cancer of stomach and intestine, preventing tooth decay, etc.

Regarding the lack of molybdenum deficiency, we must say that such condition is rather rare and mostly results from the special diet, patients stay on during the treatment they undergo, or the dysfunction of the digestive system.

The reverse, i.e. the exceeded level of molybdenum in the human body, it also is worth paying attention to, as it results in the following diseases:

- cariosity;

- migraine;

- diarrhea and digestive disorders;

- gout;

- the neoplastic process;

- impotence, etc.

The following clinical symptoms and diseases caused by the exceeded level of molybdenum in the body,  worth focusing on are:

- absent-mindedness and the inability to learn;

- anemia and leukopenia;

- depression and frustration;

- convulsive states, etc.

The chronic molybdenum intoxication, common for industrial workers and the population of regions with hostile environment, manifest itself through the following disorders:

- arthrosis;

- the bone deformity;

- muscle atony;

- decreased hemoglobin, leukocytes and erythrocytes in the blood;

- the alteration in the hepatic function, etc.

We should focus on the hazard of  taking molybdenum-containing vitamin complexes, since its accumulation causes toxic encephalopathy, which remains  in active form even after the discontinuation of the mentioned drugs.

Considering molybdenum interacting with the other trace elements, we need to focus on two pairs, i.e. copper - molybdenum and iron - molybdenum.

And remember to monitor the bioelemental status of the body and check if trace elements are distributed properly, when we are under the certain medication.

With reference to statistics, we can say that consumers, taking an interest in this trace element, pay attention to the following variations:

• how to determine the amount of molybdenum present in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of molybdenum in the body;

• how to check the level of molybdenum in the body;

• how to raise the level of molybdenum in the body;

• how to increase the level of molybdenum in the human body;

• how can I learn the level of molybdenum in the human body;

• how the level of molybdenum in the body can be determined;

• how to replete molybdenum in the body;

• how to find out the amount of molybdenum present in the human body;

• how to determine the limit of molybdenum for a child and an adult;

Answering the question of “how to determine the amount of molybdenum is in the human body?”, we should say the there is just one method, capable of determining molybdenum along with the other 35 trace elements in a human body, providing the full picture of the condition of the body and the list of its weaknesses. It is the method of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spectral analysis).

This research method became a real breakthrough since it is the first-ever method, capable of  the integrated determination of all toxic and vital trace elements, done within the shortest possible time in a single laboratory.

    Toxic trace elements get systematically accumulated in the tissues, organs, bones and other body structures, therefore it is impossible to detect their exact presence through studies of the organic samples such as urine, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, etc.

It also applies to the detection of the vital trace elements when their exact quantity needs to be determined in order to build an overall picture of the bioelemental status qua the aggregate of vital and toxic elements.

    That is exactly why the unique laboratory of elemental analysis aimed at detecting and monitoring the presence of toxic trace elements in the human body of was launched within the Clinic of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2007. The service was initially meant for employees of the huge structure accountable to the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

    The spectral analysis (you can learn more about the method by clicking this link http://www.mineralogram.com/bioelementnyystatus.html) is a unique method which provides the most  accurate information both on vital and toxic trace elements, present in a human body, which makes it possible to study the wide range of indicators instead of focusing on a certain single chemical element.

You can look into an example of the study done through the method of the spectral analysis by clicking this link.

It is a matter of great importance, since the trace elements constitute a single system and the lack of some elements causes the accumulation of the others, which results in replacement of the certain elements with the other once.

    As you might see, our project is fully devoted to the spectral analysis and its principle with regard to health control. We will gladly assist you at every step of this study, elucidate the obtained results and, if necessary, advise you on how to restore the elemental status of your body.

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the method of spectral analysis!

The uniqueness of this method makes it possible to study samples sent from any part of the world as a usual letter. It is a truly unique tool of the health control.

Remember that the systematic control over the vital sighs it is the major step on the way to well-being and longevity.

We would like to thank you for your kind attention!
