 Last week was the magic of manganese. This week is the mystery of Malibdanum, and I'm certainly having fun with these titles, but like manganese Malibdanum is an essential trace mineral in the body and it's also a metal. People don't really think about that because certain negative metals like aluminum, iron that occur in the diet in excess can be very damaging. So keep in mind any metal, including Malibdanum manganese, can be bad in excess. However, Malibdanum is far more important than manganese because it's harder to get from foods. It's usually deficient in the diet as it is specific to legumes, beans for the most part, and the medical literature states that deficiencies are rare. However, the job of modern medicine is to keep people barely alive and breathing as opposed to optimal health. Because of modern lifestyle factors, soil depletion, poor microbiome health, we aren't absorbing as many minerals from food and our bodies need more minerals as they're under more stress, including Malibdanum. So Malibdanum is stored in the liver and kidneys and you might be thinking can I eat animal organs because hypothetically if we store it there do the animals store it there? And the answer is no because of synergistic and antagonistic minerals, mainly copper. You're getting an incredible amount of copper with that Malibdanum. I was carnivore for almost eight years eating plenty of organs and my Malibdanum levels were incredibly low on a hair mineral analysis test and I did a video on hair mineral analysis several months ago if you guys want to learn more about that. As we see the primary food sources are those legumes, particularly beans and the Malibdanum content of organ meats it's pretty high up there, but as I just said not really viable, but due to lack of testing we don't know if Malibdanum is in every food you know pasta could be high in Malibdanum is anyone actually testing it and there's not money and it usually people only test the mineral content of their product when they want to sell it and as we did last week with manganese I've put the foods that I wouldn't really consume in red and stuff that I would eat in blue white beans aka cannellini beans oats brown rice cheese these three aren't really super high the white beans not something I eat every day which is why I still tend to supplement it and I say this about every mineral guys get a hair mineral analysis see where your levels are follow a diet for a few months get it retested see what you have to supplement and when you take it for several weeks even just several days of Malibdanum your next hair mineral analysis test might be adequate and you want to be careful because you don't want to throw things out of balance if you're unable to get a hair mineral analysis test you can just take a Malibdanum supplement maybe two three days in a row and see how you feel and that should be enough to do every few months when we look at studies on Malibdanum absorption it's very effective you know people take supplements almost all of it is absorbed and correspondingly excreted in the urine when an excess amount is consumed it's pretty safe to supplement as long as the dose is low to moderate nothing crazy and the problem with most Malibdanum supplements is they have like several hundred times what you normally get in the day therefore might only be safe to take once a week and as I said in the past you don't want to take that much of a mineral at once I think it was with selenium because it's just so much stress on the liver because it has to process all that at once which is why on organ supplements.com the trace mineral supplement we have has a very moderate dose of Malibdanum and you can even just cut the dropper amount in half unlike a pill or capsule so the main synergistic minerals with Malibdanum are sulfur and copper and if you guys missed my video on the mineral wheel I don't know maybe a year ago at this point definitely check it out so excess amounts of Malibdanum can cause copper deficiency which leads to anemia bone deformities central nervous system issues and excess amounts of sulfur can cause a Malibdanum deficiency which results in just a ton of oxidative stress and there's many more interactions to read about but the thing to understand here is that even if you're fixing one mineral deficiency hypothetically Malibdanum you have to be careful not to cause another issue because you could be like oh Malibdanum is great I fixed my deficiency and then six months down the line you're supplementing copper and Malibdanum just like manganese is vital for several essential enzymes in the body one breaks down sulfites another breaks down toxic aldehydes such as alcohol one more breaks down purine xanthine and the final one is a mitochondrial cell antioxidant so Malibdanum's main function is breaking down certain amino acids and after that it's needed for fat and carbohydrate metabolism in addition to helping the liver detox extreme amounts of Malibdanum can cause kidney failure infertility diarrhea seizures hallucinations even brain damage poor bone health does occur too but it's hard to measure and the main thing that would pop up first is gout because of the altered purine metabolism that enzyme interaction we spoke about deficiency of Malibdanum causes sulfite toxicity symptoms being tachycardia and tachypina which is elevated heart rate and shallow breathing headache nausea vomiting even coma and those were actually symptoms I experienced on carnivore particularly when I ate foods high in sulfur especially eggs that was you know after several years so it does take a long time to manifest a deficiency and if you are carnivore you definitely want to be mindful of your hair mineral levels and what you should be doing to ensure that nothing goes too out of whack so thank you guys for joining me today as with my entire youtube channel I have bits and snippets of information that you know
