Everything that interacts with vanadium.
Every supplement and medication in the NutriStack database with a documented interaction with this substance, highest-severity first. Open any pair for the mechanism and sources.
| Substance | Interaction | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha-Lipoic Acid | Caution | Vanadium acts as an insulin mimetic and alpha-lipoic acid improves insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, so the pair can additively lower blood... |
| Berberine | Caution | Vanadium has insulin-mimetic glucose-lowering activity and berberine is a potent glucose-lowering compound, so combining them can additively reduce... |
| Chromium | Caution | Vanadium and chromium both have insulin-sensitizing, glucose-lowering activity, so combining them can produce additive reductions in blood glucose... |
| Fenugreek | Caution | Taken together, vanadium and fenugreek produce an additive blood-glucose-lowering effect documented in experimental diabetic models, where their... |
| Glimepiride | Caution | Vanadium salts have insulin-mimetic effects and have improved insulin sensitivity in small human diabetes studies. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea... |
| Glipizide | Caution | Vanadium has insulin-like and insulin-sensitizing activity in PubMed-indexed human diabetes studies. Glipizide stimulates insulin release and can... |
| Glyburide | Caution | Vanadium has insulin-like effects and has improved glucose metabolism in small human studies. Glyburide is a longer-acting sulfonylurea with a... |
| Insulin Aspart | Caution | Vanadium salts have insulin-mimetic activity and small human studies show glucose-lowering or insulin-sensitizing effects. Because insulin aspart is... |
| Insulin Glargine | Caution | Vanadium salts have insulin-mimetic activity and small human studies show glucose-lowering or insulin-sensitizing effects. Because insulin glargine... |
| Insulin Lispro | Caution | Vanadium salts have insulin-mimetic activity and small human studies show glucose-lowering or insulin-sensitizing effects. Because insulin lispro is... |
| Pramlintide | Caution | Vanadium salts have insulin-mimetic activity and small human studies show glucose-lowering or insulin-sensitizing effects. Pramlintide is used with... |
| Vitamin C | Caution | Vitamin C directly alters the chemistry of co-ingested vanadium by reducing vanadate (V) to vanadyl (IV). This is one of the best characterized... details → |

What interacts with Vanadium?
In the NutriStack database, Vanadium has 12 documented interactions with other supplements and medications. The most notable include Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Berberine, Chromium, Fenugreek, and Glimepiride.
Can you take Vanadium with Alpha-Lipoic Acid?
NutriStack classifies the Vanadium and Alpha-Lipoic Acid pairing as caution: Vanadium acts as an insulin mimetic and alpha-lipoic acid improves insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, so the pair can additively lower blood glucose and raise... Use together only with clinician oversight. Monitor blood glucose, particularly if taking insulin or other antidiabetic agents, and be alert for...
