Vanadium

Vanadium is needed for cellular metabolism and in the formaton of bones and teeth. It plays a role in growth and reproduction, and inhibits cholesterol synthesis. A vanadium deficiency may be linked to cardiovascular and kedney disease, impaired reproductive ability, and increased infant mortality. Vanadium is not easily absorbed. Food sources: Fish Supplementation: Can be found in a good multivitamin/mineral preparation in chelated form. Also found in some colloidal mineral preparations. Can easily be toxic if taken in synthetic form. This is not one of the minerals that needs to be supplemented. A good fish dinner will supply you with the vanadium you need.
