Vanadyl sulfate, VOSO4, is an inorganic compound of vanadium. This very hygroscopic blue solid is one of the most common sources of vanadium in the laboratory, reflecting its high stability. Vanadyl sulfate is a component of some food supplements and experimental drugs. Vanadyl sulfate is a trace mineral needed in small quantities by our body. It is found in soybeans, mushrooms, shellfish, carrots, oat, cabbage and vegetable oils etc. The primary role vanadyl sulfate has in your body is maintaining your teeth and bones.
