Box 424, Glenns Ferry, ID 83623 VANADIUM 50 to 100 mcg a day A required trace element, beneficial in treating some forms of high blood pressure and for reducing the body's production of cholesterol. Reported to reduce insulin requirements in type I diabetes. In type II diabetes insulin sensitivity increased due to a greater inhibition of glucose production in the liver and from greater stimulation of glucose utilization in tissues by insulin. Storage of glucose as glycogen in muscles was also increased. Cohen, N. et al. (1995) Journal of Clinical Investigation; 95:2501. Excess glucose is a causative factor in arteriosclerosis. The safety of high dosages of vanadyl sulfate, 15 to 100 mg, commonly promoted for body building and for diabetic patients has not been established. Excessive levels of vanadium have been linked to manic depression. Less than one percent of the vanadium in food is absorbed. (27) For personal use only. Not for sale or hire.
