leaderboard Score 69.0
An inexpensive dual supplement of Vanadium and Chromium, primarily for blood sugar and metabolic support.
This product combines Vanadium (as Vanadyl Sulfate) and Chromium Picolinate, both studied for their potential to influence blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity. Its primary focus is a 'Metabolism Boost' through enhanced glucose regulation, which can indirectly contribute to 'Heart Health' by reducing blood sugar fluctuations. While improved glucose utilization can offer a subtle 'Energy' boost, neither ingredient is primarily known for 'Anti-Inflammatory Support' or direct 'Weight Loss' mechanisms beyond metabolic improvements. The very low price per serving is a notable advantage.
- Extremely cost-effective with a very low price per serving.
- Combines two minerals researched for blood sugar regulation.
- Chromium is in the well-absorbed Picolinate form.
- Vanadium's long-term safety and optimal dosing are less established than chromium, raising potential concerns for some users.
- Limited direct benefits for heart health beyond glucose regulation, and minimal for anti-inflammatory or direct energy goals.
- Vanadium can be toxic in high doses and may accumulate in the body; long-term use should be carefully considered and ideally supervised by a healthcare professional.
- Diabetics or those on blood sugar medications must consult a doctor due to significant potential effects on blood glucose.

Categories
Chromium 70.0
The product includes a good dose of bioavailable chromium, but the addition of vanadium introduces a less commonly used and potentially more cautious ingredient for general use, making it less straightforward than pure chromium supplements.
Goals
Metabolism Boost 80.0
This product offers a strong and dual-pronged approach to boosting metabolism, specifically focusing on glucose regulation through both Vanadium and Chromium.
Heart Health 65.0
Improved glucose and insulin sensitivity from both minerals can indirectly benefit cardiovascular health by reducing metabolic stress, but it is not a comprehensive heart health formula.
Weight Loss 65.0
While optimizing glucose metabolism can indirectly support weight loss by affecting appetite and fat storage, this product lacks direct weight loss mechanisms like fat binding or thermogenesis.
