DESCRIPTION Vanadyl Sulfate,
is a trace element compound that contains vanadium
bound to sulfur. Each tablet provides 100% pure,
crystalline vanadyl sulfate. Vanadium in its reduced
form, vanadyl, constitutes 19.5% of this supplement.
FUNCTIONS Research suggests that vanadyl sulfate may have
unique activity within a number of physiological
systems including glucose, lipid and bone
metabolism. The mechanism by which vanadyl
sulfate influences various metabolic pathways is not
fully understood.
However, it is believed that the
vanadyl ion, which is found in nearly all tissues in the
body, is the active form of vanadium within cells.
Vanadate, another vanadium ion that is found in body
fluids, may be reduced by glutathione to the vanadyl
form upon entering the cell. However, most studies
investigating the effects of vanadyl have successfully
used orally administered vanadyl sulfate.
INDICATIONS Vanadyl Sulfate may be given orally as a daily
supplement as a source of the vanadyl ion for
individuals who wish to supplement their intake of
vanadium or who have a demonstrated need for
supplemental vanadium in its active form due to
dietary deficiency or impaired metabolism.
