Magnesium and Vitamin D Supplementation and Cardiometabolic Outcomes

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Magnesium Deficiency
Vitamin D Deficiency
Cardiovascular Risk Factor
Overweight and Obesity
Registration Number
NCT03134417
Lead Sponsor
Drexel University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a combined vitamin D and magnesium supplementation on parathyroid hormone and cardiometabolic health in persons living with obesity.

Detailed Description

Individuals living with obesity are at a higher risk of cardiometabolic abnormalities and high circulating parathyroid hormone. There is evidence suggesting that vitamin D may play a role in cardiovascular health outcomes; however, the research is currently inconclusive. Magnesium is a cofactor of vitamin D metabolism, and the prevalence of concurrent vitamin D and magnesium deficiency is high. This study aims to investigate the effect of vitamin D and magnesium supplements in individuals who are overweight and obese on parathyroid hormone and cardiometabolic health.
