What is it? |
| A MICROMINERAL
named for the Scandinavian goddess of youth and beauty that's essential
to animals and probably to humans as well. Its main function is to
activate enzymes involved in FAT
metabolism and nerve hormone production. Taken in pharmacological doses,
vanadium not only blocks CHOLESTEROL
production by the liver but also lowers blood levels of cholesterol and
triglycerides. Because vanadium is present in a wide variety of foods
(seafood, soybeans and grains are especially good sources), deficiencies
are unknown. Overdoses, on the other hand, are fairly common due to
industrial pollution (vanadium can be inhaled, even absorbed by the
skin) and it doesn't take much to cause trouble.
