Product Information

Vanadium is essential for healthy bones, teeth, and cartilage.* When in the form of vanadyl sulfate it has been found to help maintain already normal blood sugar levels by decreasing insulin receptor resistance.*

Both animal and human studies point to the potential of vanadyl sulfate for supporting already normal glucose metabolism.* Vanadium also appears to increase deposition of glycogen (storage sugar) in the liver and inhibit the formation of new glucose from protein.*

Vanadium can accumulate in bone, where it plays a role in building bone, thus having a positive impact on bone health.*

Studies on vanadyl sulfate for supporting already normal glucose metabolism have relied on relatively high amounts.* Other findings in these studies include support for cholesterol metabolism and lipid oxidation.* The only side effect with higher amounts (150-300 mg) was some gastrointestinal intolerance. No oxidative stress or other signs of toxicity were noted in these short-term studies. Animal toxicity studies at higher amounts have observed no toxicity after one year.
