Vanadium pentoxide is used as a catalyst to make sulfuric acid. Vanadate, another compound of vanadium, protects steel from rust and corrosion. Vanadium dioxide is used to make glass coatings which block infrared radiation. Other vanadium compounds are used for fake jewelry and superconducting magnets.<ref>http://wanttoknowit.com/uses-of-vanadium/</ref>

Along with [[chromium]], Vanadium is one of the minerals which is believed to help control blood sugar. It is sometimes used for [[diabetes]] in place of animal insulin injections. <ref>http://www.whale.to/a/diabetes_shame.html</ref> However, there has been no official study to discover how much vanadium is required by the human body, so many conventional doctors avoid suggesting this supplementation. <ref>http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/vanadium</ref>
