I'm told it works; I don't know. I don't like the green (greasy?) stool.

Took to attempt to lower blood sugar. Upon further research, I discovered that it can lower testosterone and eventually damage the testes. According to the National Library of Medicine. "Vanadium is a well recognized industrial hazard known to adversely affect male reproductive functions." There are several studies online for you to find on this.

Vanadyl sulfate works period. It’s been around for years. The only issue when I used it was finding a legit manufacturer. Sport Pharma was the most reputable but that was years ago. Not sure they are still around.

I was forced to take insulin in 1994, because my pancreas stopped producing insulin when I was 38 years old. Fast forward to 2017- I began taking Vanadium 2 weeks ago, and I have already seen dramatic improvement with insulin usage and blood sugar results. I have dropped my usage on insulin from 80 units per day down to 40-50, and it is still improving. So happy I could scream right now. It is a miracle.

I started using vanadium 3 months ago. Got blood work done and results were 138 before taking vanadium to 149 after taking vanadium. Previously took cinnonamon with chromium with great results. I will be changing immediately.

From the Uses section "For now, don’t use vanadium to treat type 2 diabetes. Wait to see if additional larger studies show benefit and safety." OK, as far as I know, the effects of vanadium on insulin resistance have been known since at least the 1980's. That's 35 years ago now. And I might not even know the whole story, possibly it has been known longer than that but I don't know. I'm no expert or historian. I just know it from an article back then. How long exactly should I wait? Please tell me how long I should wait before using this supplement? What is a reasonable amount of time? 65 years? 100? 600? 1000? Get real. My human lifetime is 72 years. You've wasted more than half of it to my knowledge. Get off your duff or don't whine when people use unproven therapies. By the way, yes it works for me.

Only used for one week. I am a type 1 diabetic. My fasting blood sugar has gone from an average if 160+ to an average of 95. I have started to cut back on insulin in the evening. I hope that this progresses. I am taking Source Naturals 200 mcg of Vanadium and 1 mg of Chromium.

Blood sugar dropped from an uncontrolled high of 400+ to a low of 86 within a two month period after starting the use of Vanadyl Sulfate. Also took in combination with Chromium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and a low carb diet. Had type II diabetes for over 10 years. Was able to stop 5 insulin shots, Metformin and Januvia. High blood pressure also went back to normal. Was able to stop Benicar and Metoprolol. Had to take more than the recommended dose. Also lost 30 lbs within 3 months of usage without exercise.Read More Read Less

I used this on my Australian Heeler after she got kicked by a horse. The dog lost serious weight. The vet tested and diagnosed "diabetes". We worked with insulin shots for a while, then I went to the health store and purchased vanadium--squeezed 3 caps into her food daily and it worked! She did not lose weight--actually gained a few pounds. My dog passed a few years ago--age related. I'm about to try some for myself and see if it will help with my weight gain. It should. It's going to my middle--fat belly. I do not recall the brand I used. It was a capsule form--please ignore my choice on the best prod. used. ThanksRead More Read Less
