Cardiovascular Risk Factor, Magnesium Deficiency, Overweight and Obesity, Vitamin D Deficiency
Conditions
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.
Interventions
Daily vitamin D and magnesium supplements are given to participants daily for 12 weeks.
Daily vitamin D supplements are given to participants daily for 12 weeks.
Daily placebo are given to participants daily for 12 weeks.
