Therapeutic Uses
Vanadium has been proposed as a treatment for diabetes , based on promising studies in animals and a few small human trials. 1 Vanadium is also sometimes used as a sports supplement by bodybuilders, but there is no evidence that it is effective. 2 Because studies in mice have found that vanadium is deposited in bone, 3 some practitioners of nutritional medicine have suggested that it may be helpful for osteoporosis . However, since many toxic metals also accumulate in the bones without strengthening them, this doesn't prove that vanadium is good for bones.
