HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chelated Molybdenum by Solgar
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: molybdenum, a mineral your body needs in small amounts for normal enzyme function and metabolism. Molybdenum is chelated here, meaning it's bound to another compound to help your body absorb it.
The tablet also includes several inactive ingredients — dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, vegetable cellulose, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Molybdenum supplementation is likely effective for treating molybdenum deficiency, which is rare but can occur in certain medical conditions. For other uses listed — acne, iron deficiency anemia, asthma, osteoporosis, and esophageal cancer — the evidence we have isn't strong enough to rate whether it works.
Most people get enough molybdenum from their diet without supplementation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Molybdenum from food and standard prenatal vitamins is considered safe. However, high-dose supplements like this one can cause problems and are rarely necessary without a doctor's recommendation.
At or below the safe upper limit of 2 mg per day, molybdenum is generally well tolerated. One rare case report documented severe toxicity (psychosis, seizures, brain damage) from very high supplemental doses over a short period; chelation therapy was needed to treat it.
If you have a stainless steel angioplasty stent, talk with your cardiologist before taking molybdenum supplements, since stent material can contain molybdenum and there's a theoretical concern about contact allergy increasing restenosis risk.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we checked. Your exact medications should still be reviewed with your pharmacist before you start.
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.
If your doctor has identified a molybdenum deficiency, this supplement can help. For everyone else, molybdenum from food is usually enough.
Before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a stainless steel stent, check with your pharmacist or doctor to make sure a high-dose supplement is right for you.
