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 anamils, 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.

Parker Hughes Institute scientists develop 24 new drugs containing metal

Vanadium effective in fighting cancer cells

May 3, 2000, Saint Paul, Minn. ( In a systematic effort to develop effective drugs with a broad spectrum and potent anti-cancer activity, researchers at the St. Paul, Minn.-based Parker Hughes Institute have developed 24 new drugs containing the metal vanadium. The results of this research are published in this months issue of Clinical Cancer Research, the official scientific journal of the American Association of Cancer Research.

These novel drugs were effective against 14 of 14 different cancer cell lines as well as cancer cells taken directly from patients. Targeted cancer cells included those of breast cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, leukemia and lymphoma. These new anti-cancer drugs work by causing the cancer cells to commit suicide (or apoptosis) within 4 to 24 hours.

These drugs are now being tested in animal safety studies to identify those that have the best therapeutic index.

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. If Vanadium turns out to be essential for humans, the estimated requirement would most likely be less than 10 micrograms per day.

Minerals for Life™ 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 OHM™ 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 (Solutomic™) 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 Activation™. 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.

Adult Directions
Take 1 tablespoon daily.

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 with your physician before starting this or new mineral or supplement program.
