The Vanadium chemical element was discovered in 1830. While studying its structural features, the researchers concluded that it is present in the human body (in a tiny amount of 0.1 mg). Despite such an insignificant weight, vanadium is necessary for the functioning of the immune system, the formation of dense bone tissue, and the transmission of nerve impulses.
