HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Albion Molybdenum 400 mcg by Swanson

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: molybdenum, a trace mineral your body needs for certain enzyme functions. You're getting 400 micrograms per capsule.

The capsule also contains rice flour, hypromellose, maltodextrin, L-leucine, and silica as inactive ingredients—these are binders, flow agents, and the capsule material itself.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Molybdenum's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Molybdenum for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Molybdenum deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Molybdenum is likely effective for treating molybdenum deficiency, which is rare in people eating a typical diet. For acne, iron deficiency anemia, asthma, osteoporosis, and esophageal cancer, the evidence we have isn't strong enough to say whether it works.

If you're considering this supplement for something other than deficiency, talk with us first—you may not need it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Molybdenum

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Molybdenum at dietary levels (the amount in food) is well tolerated. At high doses from supplements, problems can happen and aren't usually necessary.

The upper safe limit is 2 mg per day. One case report describes severe effects—psychosis, seizures, brain damage—from very high supplemental doses (300–800 micrograms daily over 18 days), which is well above what this product provides.

People with molybdenum-containing stents should be aware of potential contact allergy risks, though this is uncommon. Amounts in food and prenatal vitamins are fine; avoid high-dose supplements without your doctor's approval.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Molybdenum

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for molybdenum with any medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This low-dose molybdenum supplement is for people with a documented molybdenum deficiency, which is very rare. If you eat a normal diet, you're almost certainly getting enough.

Talk with your pharmacist before starting—molybdenum deficiency is not common, and you may not need supplementation.

Albion Molybdenum 400 mcg by Swanson: Common Questions

Does Albion Molybdenum 400 mcg by Swanson interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Albion Molybdenum 400 mcg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Albion Molybdenum 400 mcg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is molybdenum safe to take every day?
At the dose in this product (400 mcg), yes—it's well below the safe upper limit of 2 mg per day. As long as you're not taking other high-dose molybdenum supplements at the same time, daily use is fine.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Dietary amounts of molybdenum are fine during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Avoid high-dose supplements without checking with your doctor first—we don't have enough safety data on supplements in those situations, so a conversation with your provider is the right move.
Will this help my acne or anemia?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say molybdenum works for either. If you're dealing with acne or anemia, your pharmacist or doctor should help you find treatments we know actually work.
What does molybdenum actually do in my body?
It's a trace mineral that helps certain enzymes work properly. Your body only needs a tiny amount—you get it from foods like grains, legumes, nuts, and leafy greens.
Do I need a molybdenum supplement?
Almost certainly not, unless your doctor says you have a deficiency. A normal diet provides all the molybdenum most people need, and deficiency is very rare.
