Vanadium has shown promise in research trials helping the body achieve healthy sugar levels.* It may help promote healthy glucose levels in people with a lack of sensitivity to insulin by increasing this sensitivity. Because of this, Vanadium compounds have been termed "insulin-mimetic." Vanadium containing compounds have also recently been indiciated in their ability to help promote healthy cellular replication in the body.*
Vanadium is an ultra-trace mineral found in the human diet and the human body. In its natural form, Vanadium is very colorful and is found in very small amounts in a wide variety of foods, including seafoods, cereals, mushrooms, parsley, corn, soy, and gelatin. It is a metallic element that exists in several oxidation states, including +2, +3, +4, and even +5. In living matter, Vanadium is found mainly as the tetravalent vanadyl cation and the pentavalent vanadate form.
Currently, Vanadium is a mineral that is being explored to further understand its possible role in promoting human health. In research anamils, a diet deficient in Vanadium has lead to symptoms including growth retardation, bone deformities, and infertility. Vanadium also is suggested to possibly play a role in building healthy bones and teeth.
