Vanadyl sulfate is a mineral used to treat insulin resistance, prediabetes, and diabetes. Evidence shows vanadyl sulfate works similar to insulin in lowering blood sugar levels. Vanadyl sulfate also improves the performance of insulin within the body.
Dosage
Vanadyl sulfate is most commonly obtained by reduction of vanadium pentoxide with sulfur dioxide: V2O5 + 7 H2O + SO2 + H2SO4 → 2 [V(O)(H2O)4]SO. From aqueous solution, the salt crystallizes as the pentahydrate, the fifth water is not bound to the metal in the solid.
