Showing Molybdenum in the nutrient table
Give the amount of Molybdenum per daily dose, in µg, and the %NRV. A daily dose of 50 µg works out as 50 ÷ 50 × 100 = 100% NRV. Check other doses with our %NRV calculator.
The nutrient table names the nutrient. The ingredients list names the form used, such as sodium molybdate.
Is there a maximum dose?
The UK has no legal maximum for molybdenum in food supplements, and the NHS doesn’t publish a specific upper amount for it.
Authorised health claims
These are examples of authorised claims on the GB nutrition and health claims register. Use them word for word or with wording that means exactly the same, and only when the daily dose provides at least 15% of the NRV (7.5 µg).

Labelling notes
Molybdenum usually appears only in multivitamins and multiminerals.
Check before you print. Claims and dose advice are summarised from the GB nutrition and health claims register and the NHS vitamins and minerals pages, as of October 2026. Confirm your final wording against the register.
