I tried molybdenum after a hair test came up showing I was deficient in this trace element and it really started helping my concentration issues and mind fog in 3-5 days.
Ive just come across a molybdenum study I found interesting so thought I'd share it (note this study wasnt on people who had any deficiency of it showing but rather in ones who had aches and pains).

Maybe it would be interesting to trial this among the ME/CFS group. Anyway we could set up an informal trial of molybdenum between ourselves?
My molybdenum capsules contain 100mcg molybdenum which I was only taking once a day. The ones I use are called "Molyzinc" (which also have a bit of zinc in them)
The study I provided link too used "elemental molybdenum was 100 mu g per capsule" with 4 capsules spead out over the day (so 400 mu g).
Can someone please tell me what mu g stands for?
If you are going to trial it and interested in doing an informal study between ourselves here it would be good to rate things in same way. (keeping things simple)
They used a 5-point scale:
5--very bad
4--bad
3--moderate
2--fairly good
1--good
note before starting the molybdenum
Rating for aches and pains is ?
Rating for general health is ?
Rating for concentration is?
Rating for ability to do maths in ones head is ?
(ive added those last things cause that is the area in which molybdenum really helped me, I went from not being able to do maths in my head, to being able to do so)
and then can you share the before rating and the after one month of molybdenum supplementation rating here.
If you post to say you are going to try this.. please post back with the result even if it didnt help. Also in your post include the amount of molybdenum you trialed and if it helped in any way.. can you say after how many days you noted an improvement.
thanks.. It would be very interesting to know how many of us, this supplement which helps with detox, may help in some way
