HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vanadyl Sulfate 10 mg by Puritan's Pride

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: vanadyl sulfate 10 mg, a form of vanadium that your body uses in small amounts for normal function. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients (dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, stearic acid, silica, and magnesium stearate) that help hold the tablet together and aid absorption.

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 here is thin. Vanadium is likely effective for vanadium deficiency—a rare condition—but for everything else on the label, the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence.

That means we don't have enough solid clinical trials to say whether it works for athletic performance, cancer, diabetes, or high cholesterol. If you're considering this supplement for one of those uses, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually shows.

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.

Vanadium is generally well tolerated at small dietary amounts, but this 10 mg dose is well above the safe upper limit of 1.8 mg daily. At higher doses, you may experience stomach upset—nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, or bloating.

Long-term use at high doses has rarely caused kidney damage. Allergic reactions to vanadium, including itchy rashes and eczema, have been reported, though they're uncommon.

The safety data advises against vanadium supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, do not take this product without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others)—vanadium may raise your bleeding risk. Also check if you take diabetes medications, since vanadium may lower your blood sugar further.

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.

This supplement may be worth considering only if you have a documented vanadium deficiency—which is rare. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, you'll need to check with your pharmacist before starting.

The dose in this product is high enough to cause stomach upset in some people and exceeds recommended safe upper limits, so it's not a casual add-on. Talk to your pharmacist before you start.

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.

Vanadyl Sulfate 10 mg by Puritan's Pride: Common Questions

Does Vanadyl Sulfate 10 mg by Puritan's Pride interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vanadyl Sulfate 10 mg 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?
Vanadyl Sulfate 10 mg 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.
Is this dose of vanadyl sulfate safe?
This 10 mg dose is well above the safe upper limit of 1.8 mg daily set for vanadium. At higher doses, gastrointestinal upset is common, and long-term high doses have rarely caused kidney damage. If you're considering this product, talk with your pharmacist first.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against vanadium supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, do not take this product without talking to your doctor.
Does vanadyl sulfate actually help with diabetes?
A few very small clinical studies suggest it may improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose in type 2 diabetes, but the evidence is not strong enough for us to rate it as effective. If you're interested in using it for diabetes, discuss it with your doctor—especially since it could interact with your diabetes medications.
What are the most common side effects?
At doses above the safe upper limit, the most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and bloating. Allergic reactions, including rashes and itchy skin, are rare but have been reported.
What is vanadyl sulfate used for?
Vanadium is a trace mineral your body needs in small amounts. Vanadyl sulfate is the form used in this supplement. It's likely effective for treating vanadium deficiency, which is rare, but evidence for other uses—like athletic performance, cancer, diabetes, or cholesterol—is insufficient.
