Vanadyl Sulfate And Diabetes
Vanadyl sulfate is a form of the vanadium, a trace mineral. In Europe, vanadium is often used as a natural treatment for diabetes.
Vanadium has been found in human studies to imitate the effects of insulin in our bodies. This ability may allow some of those with diabetes, a natural method to help lower blood sugar, taken less insulin or in some instances stop taking insulin altogether.
Vanadium is believed to assist in the transfer of sugar in the blood (glucose) into muscles, similar to the function of insulin. It is also believed to increase insulin sensitivity in the muscles. This is important to Type 2 diabetics especially, in that one factor in the development of diabetes can be insulin resistance.
This transfer of glucose into muscle tissue has also been touted by weightlifters and body builders. Vanadium allows the body to store more energy in the muscles,therefore decreasing the need for conversion to triglycerides for fat storage.
Diabetics should consult their physician prior to taking Vanadyl sulfate. They should also monitor their blood sugar
regularly when taking a vanadyl supplement because of the potential to lower blood sugar and decrease insulin needs.
The effects of vanadium have been shown to last for weeks, even in the absence of further supplementation. Therefore it is suggested that it be taken in cycles. It is probably best to take vanadyl sulfate supplements for about three weeks and then discontinue their use for about three weeks.
By utilizing this valuable adjunct to the treatment of diabetes in this manner a diabetic can improve sugar control and avoid any potential toxicity.
