HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Molybdenum 500 mcg by PureFormulas

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 Aug 20, 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 500 micrograms per capsule. Molybdenum is a trace mineral your body uses as part of several enzymes that help break down certain amino acids and manage uric acid.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, cellulose, and vegetable stearate—standard inactive ingredients that hold and deliver the mineral.

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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: essential mineral support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Molybdenum deficiency.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Molybdenum is rated "Likely Effective" for Molybdenum deficiency (Natural Medicines).

Molybdenum is likely effective for preventing or treating molybdenum deficiency, which is rare in people eating a varied diet. For acne, iron deficiency anemia, asthma, osteoporosis, and esophageal cancer, the evidence is insufficient to say whether it helps—we just don't have reliable data in those areas.

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.

When you stay at or below the daily upper safe limit of 2 mg, molybdenum is generally well tolerated. This 500 mcg dose is well within that range.

The safety notes caution that high-dose supplements may cause problems and are rarely necessary, and that you should avoid high-dose supplementation without medical advice. One serious case report described severe toxicity (hallucinations, seizures, brain damage) from much higher daily doses (300–800 mcg daily over weeks), so exceeding recommended amounts carries real risk.

During pregnancy, molybdenum from food and prenatal vitamins is generally considered likely safe, though some data suggest possibly unsafe—talk with your doctor about whether you need a supplement. During breastfeeding, dietary amounts appear likely safe.

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 the ingredient we could check. That doesn't mean none exist, so if you take any prescription medications, confirm with your own pharmacist before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement makes sense if you're concerned about molybdenum deficiency, though that's uncommon in people eating typical diets. If you're pregnant, have a history of seizures or psychiatric symptoms, or take high doses, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

For most people eating normally, food provides enough molybdenum.

Molybdenum 500 mcg by PureFormulas: Common Questions

Does Molybdenum 500 mcg by PureFormulas interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Molybdenum 500 mcg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Molybdenum 500 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.
What is molybdenum supposed to do?
Molybdenum is a trace mineral your body uses in enzymes that break down amino acids and manage uric acid. It's definitely necessary in small amounts, but deficiency is rare in people eating a normal diet.
Is 500 mcg a safe dose?
Yes—it's well below the daily upper safe limit of 2,000 mcg. When you stay within that range, molybdenum is generally well tolerated.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The data are mixed: molybdenum from food and prenatal vitamins is considered likely safe, but some evidence suggests high-dose supplements may be possibly unsafe. Talk with your doctor about whether you need a supplement during pregnancy.
Will this help with acne or anemia?
The evidence isn't reliable enough to say. Molybdenum is only proven to help prevent or treat actual molybdenum deficiency.
Does this contain fillers or other stuff I don't need?
The capsule is made from cellulose, gelatin, and vegetable stearate—all standard inactive ingredients that just hold the mineral together and let you swallow it.
