An essential trace mineral that helps your body break down sulphur and flush out waste.
What it is
Molybdenum is an essential mineral that your body needs in tiny amounts every day. It acts as a key spark plug for enzymes that process sulphur compounds found in protein foods. Formulated alongside friendly probiotics in Velobiotics supplements, it supports your liver's natural cleansing systems and keeps cells healthy.
Also known as: Sodium Molybdate, Molybdenum Glycinate
Key benefits

- Supports normal protein breakdown and natural waste removal in your body.
- Assists your liver in clearing out everyday chemical byproducts and toxins.
- Protects your cells from daily wear and tear on your cells by supporting antioxidant enzymes.
Amplified by probiotics
Your gut absorbs molybdenum through the gut wall. Helpful probiotic bacteria produce nourishing compounds that keep your gut lining strong and healthy for efficient mineral absorption. Probiotics also help balance sulphur-producing microbes in your digestive tract, working together with molybdenum to maintain a calm, healthy gut environment.
