HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vana Trace by Priority One Nutritional Supplements

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Vanadium” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (10 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Vana Trace has one active ingredient: vanadium (supplied as vanadyl sulfate). The capsule also contains rice chelate and a vegetarian capsule shell as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Vanadium's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Vanadium for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Vanadium deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence backs vanadium for one thing: treating vanadium deficiency — that's rated likely effective. For athletic performance, diabetes, high cholesterol, and cancer, the evidence we have isn't strong enough to rate it either way.

If you're thinking about this for blood sugar or exercise performance, that's not yet established by reliable studies.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vanadium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

At the standard upper safe intake level of 1.8 mg daily, vanadium is generally well tolerated. Above that, you may get stomach upset — abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, bloating, or nausea.

At high doses taken long-term, there's a rare risk of kidney damage. A small number of people have had allergic reactions to vanadium, including rash and itching.

Do not take this during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data. The same goes for breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering vanadium supplements.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vanadium

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vanadium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs first — vanadium may raise bleeding risk. Also check any diabetes medications — vanadium might lower blood sugar further.

These are Moderate-severity interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vana Trace is for people who need vanadium supplementation or want to try it for blood sugar support, but the diabetes evidence is preliminary. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, check with us first.

Pregnant and nursing mothers should skip it.

Vanadium2 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, vanadium might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that the sodium orthovanadate form of vanadium prolongs clotting time, likely through inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, vanadium might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
A few very small clinical studies in patients with type 2 diabetes show that the vanadyl sulfate form of vanadium increases insulin sensitivity and might lower blood glucose levels.

Vana Trace by Priority One Nutritional Supplements: Common Questions

Does Vana Trace by Priority One Nutritional Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vana Trace has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vana Trace contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is vanadium, and why would I take it?
Vanadium is a mineral your body needs in trace amounts. This supplement is established for treating vanadium deficiency. Some people take it hoping to improve blood sugar control or athletic performance, but the evidence for those uses isn't solid yet.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
You shouldn't without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first. Vanadium may increase your bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. We've flagged this as a moderate interaction, so get personalized advice before starting.
What are the side effects?
At normal doses (up to 1.8 mg daily), it's generally well tolerated. Higher doses can cause stomach issues — nausea, diarrhea, bloating, or belly discomfort. Rarely, long-term high doses have caused kidney damage. A few people have had allergic reactions like rash or itching.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data, so vanadium supplements are advised against in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to be, or nursing.
If I take diabetes medication, can I use this?
Check with your pharmacist or doctor first. Vanadium may lower blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity, which could raise your risk of low blood sugar if you're also on diabetes drugs. This is a moderate interaction worth verifying with your exact medication.
