Vanadium has shown promise in research trials helping the body achieve healthy sugar levels.* It may help promote healthy glucose levels in people with a lack of sensitivity to insulin by increasing this sensitivity. Because of this, Vanadium compounds have been termed "insulin-mimetic." Vanadium containing compounds have also recently been indiciated in their ability to help promote healthy cellular replication in the body.*
Eniva Vanadium (symbol "V") is a metallic transition element found in nature as a very colorful compound. Vanadium is found widely in the form of minerals, as well as the human body.*
Minerals for Life® Vanadium is a liquid dietary supplement of the mineral Vanadium in aqueous solution as an advanced proprietary molecular delivery system.
The purer the water the more efficiently minerals are activated into their electrically charged ionic state. Eniva® uses OHM™ water (multi-step purified water) in a unique proprietary process at Eniva's government-inspected manufacturing facility, yielding a bio-available form of vanadium ions (Solutomic™) in sparkling clear solution for quicker absorption than tablets or capsules which must first dissolve in the digestive system before being absorbed.
Vanadium Helps to Support:
- Healthy sugar levels*
- Healthy cellular replication in the body*
- Strong Bones and teeth*

Caution: It is highly recommended that Vanadium supplementation be used for only a short period of time unless under the direct supervision of a medical professional. It is recommended that those with manic depression and mood disorders, or on MAO inhibitor medications avoid vanadium supplementation. Do not consume if tamper resistant seal is broken or missing. Keep cap tightly closed and out of reach of children. Not intended for children under 14 years of age. Not for pregnant or lactating women. First consult your physician before starting this or any new mineral or nutrient supplement program. Isolated minerals or nutrients are best taken as part of a comprehensive supplement program containing a broad spectrum of nutrients. |
Vanadium is an ultra-trace mineral found in the human diet and the human body. In its natural form, Vanadium is very colorful and is found in very small amounts in a wide variety of foods, including seafoods, cereals, mushrooms, parsley, corn, soy, and gelatin. It is a metallic element that exists in several oxidation states, including +2, +3, +4, and even +5. In living matter, Vanadium is found mainly as the tetravalent vanadyl cation and the pentavalent vanadate form.
Currently, Vanadium is a mineral that is being explored to further understand its possible role in promoting human health. In research animals, a diet deficient in Vanadium has lead to symptoms including growth retardation, bone deformities, and infertility. Vanadium also is suggested to possibly play a role in building healthy bones and teeth.
Vanadium has not yet proven to be an essential mineral for humans, and researchers caution that long-term safety of large amounts of Vanadium ingestion remains unknown. The optimal intake of Vanadium is unknown and there is no RDA.
Minerals for LifeTM Vanadium is a liquid dietary supplement of the electrically charged ion particle Vanadium. Eniva uses forms of minerals that thoroughly activate by ionization in pure OHMTM water, yielding the monatomic Vanadium equivalent, as shown as "Vanadium" in the "Supplement Facts" panel. A solution yields the smallest particles the size of atoms, ions, or small molecules, whereas colloidal dispersions contain large clusters of particles. The purer the water the more efficiently minerals are activated into their electrically charged ionic state.
Eniva uses OHM water (multi-step purified water) in a unique proprietary process at Eniva's government-inspected-and-certified manufacturing facility, yielding ionically dislodged monatomic (SolutomicTM) ions in sparkling clear solutions for quicker absorption than tablets or capsules which must first dissolve in the digestive system before being absorbed.
This product has been structurally enhanced with Negative Field ActivationTM. It has been treated with a proprietary negative magnetic field design at over 1,000 times the strength of the earth's own magnetic field.
