Molybdenum is a trace element that plays an essential role in a range of metabolic functions and is influenced by dietary factors. (source, source)
Molybdenum insufficiency can reduce glycogen stores, leading to decreased energy levels. Maintaining adequate molybdenum levels supports glycogen storage. This helps in reducing fatigue.
Supplement with Molybdenum: Molybdenum intake has been shown to increase molybdenum absorption. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 25 mcg of molybdenum daily.
Supplement with Taurine: Taurine supplementation has been shown to decrease uric acid, a marker of molybdenum insufficiency. (source) Taurine decreases uric acid levels by reducing enzymatic activities that lead to the production of uric acid. It also modulates the expression of proteins that transport uric acid across cell membranes, which inhibits the uptake and increases the excretion of uric acid. By decreasing uric acid levels, markers of molybdenum insufficiency are improved. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 1 g of taurine daily.
