Significant lower postbrandial blood sugar after molybdenum pill

i was taking a few times molybdenum because i hoped it somehow would alleviate my allergic asthma symptomatic as broken sulfite->sulfate sulfur metabolism can cause those problems and molybdenum is important for this pathway to work.

when i take it to my big meal (50mcg molybdenum) my sugar was 2,5h later instead of 110'ish around 78'ish. i took it 4x and every time it was that case. i never have values around 80. my best values measures where around 90-100 but most of the time around 110 +/-10 mg/dl.
so it indeed is working for that.

but i cannot explain how this works.
but i take it :).


also interesting was that i first tried mo-zyme, and while it lowered my sugar as said above, i also had hours later breathing difficulties and a heavy chest. it has shellack and i suspected to be allergic to that.
i got a different brand where i still had the lower blood sugar but not the breathing difficulties, so confirming the idea that i might be allergic to shellack or some other thing the mo-zyme uses.

does it work against the asthma symptoms? not sure yet. but so far i feel and fear it does not.
also it can cause lower copper and thats something i would like to avoid as i am already copper deficient. so i will not take it daily.
