Vanadium Information
Vanadium is a trace element that was named after the Scandinavian goddess of youth and beauty. It is necessary for cellular metabolism and for the formation of bones and teeth. Vanadium inhibits cholesterol synthesis and plays a vital role in growth and reproduction of the body. This mineral has been shown to improve insulin utilization, resulting in improved glucose tolerance, and in recent years. Foods that contain Vanadium are dill, fish, olives, meat, radishes, snap beans, vegetable oils, and whole grains.



Vanadium Uses
Scientific studies have shown Vanadium to be helpful in controlling diabetes. It is also used by some athletes and weight lifters to build muscle; however, there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. Small studies on Vanadium have also shown that it can possibly help treat osteoporosis.



Vanadium Dosage Information
For best results, consult your physician for treating your condition. As a daily supplement, read and follow product label directions.



Vanadium Safety
There is the possibility of an interaction between Vanadium and Chromium, so it is suggested that you take them at different times of the day. Tobacco use decreases the positive effects of Vanadium.
