Gravimetry may be used when either the magnitude of gravitational field or the properties of matter responsible for its creation are of interest.
How much molybdenum does a child need? Infant adequate intake (AI) from birth to six months is 2 mcg and for infants seven to 12 months is 3 mcg, which the infant typically receives easily through the intake of human milk.
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.
