Foods high in Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a trace mineral that activates a handful of enzymes, including ones that process sulfur amino acids and break down toxins. Legumes, nuts, grains and liver are the main sources. How much a plant holds depends on the soil it grew in, so these figures vary more than most, and deficiency in healthy people is essentially unknown.
