Vanadium is an essential metallic element present in the environment in low levels and often used to manufacture steel. Studies have shown that it is essential for mammalian growth and reproduction. There is a low risk of suffering from a deficiency in vanadium; however, vanadium toxicity can occur and in some cases at fairly low intake levels.
