Methodology
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of vanadium 50 mg/day for four weeks in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
Key Findings
No significant change in insulin sensitivity, fasting glucose or the glucose tolerance test compared with placebo.
Conclusions
Vanadium supplementation did not improve insulin sensitivity in impaired glucose tolerance.
Limitations
Small sample and short four-week exposure.
Supplements Studied
Vanadium supplementation did not modify insulin sensitivity in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
Outcomes Measured
No significant change in the glucose tolerance test compared with placebo.
No significant change in insulin sensitivity, fasting glucose or the glucose tolerance test compared with placebo.
