Vanadium

Ingredient Type: Mineral
Safe

Vanadium is a trace mineral that is found in the soil and in small amounts in some foods. It is also available as a dietary supplement and is sometimes included in protein powders and other supplements.

Vanadium is believed to play a role in various physiological processes in the body, including blood sugar regulation and bone health. It is thought to work by mimicking the effects of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

Some studies have suggested that vanadium may have potential benefits for individuals with diabetes, as it may help to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels. However, more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Vanadium is generally considered safe when used in recommended amounts.
