Vanadium is a soft, ductile, silver-grey metal. . In recent experiments on mice, the four partners strove to confirm the water's benefits for diabetes. The results indicate that long-term intake (3 months) can inhibit weight gain and improve the body's efficient utilization of glucose. Furthermore, the intake did not cause an adverse effect. The four partners have concluded that water that natually contains vanadium is beneficial to the prevention and control of metabolic syndromes, including diabetes. Details of the research were presented at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Pharmacological Society, held from March 8-10. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network.
