Gravimetry may be used when either the magnitude of gravitational field or the properties of matter responsible for its creation are of interest.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of molybdenum for men and women is 45 mcg (Î¼g â micrograms) a day. On average, American adult males have a daily intake of about 109 mcg of molybdenum while women have a daily intake of about 76 mcg, well above the recommended amount. The RDA for pregnant women and breastfeeding women is 50 mcg.
Although molybdenum does not have a known toxicity level in humans, taking high concentrations of molybdenum in supplements may have adverse effects on copper levels by interfering with its absorption. One study found that high levels of dietary molybdenum, up to 1,500 mcg, caused excessive excretion of copper.
