Study snapshot

DesignRandomized controlled clinical trial
ModelHuman participants
Sample95 adults with overweight or obesity randomized
InterventionMagnesium glycinate plus 1,000 IU vitamin D3; vitamin D3 alone; or placebo
Duration12 weeks
EndpointsSerum 25(OH)D; Parathyroid hormone; Blood pressure; Inflammatory markers

What the study showed, in plain terms

This publication examines serum 25(oh)d, parathyroid hormone, blood pressure, inflammatory markers. Study population or evidence base: 95 adults with overweight or obesity randomized. Intervention or exposure: Magnesium glycinate plus 1,000 IU vitamin D3; vitamin D3 alone; or placebo.

Key findings

Combined supplementation produced the largest increase in vitamin D status. A systolic blood-pressure improvement occurred in participants with higher starting pressure; parathyroid hormone and inflammation outcomes were not significantly improved.

What this study can and cannot tell us

A small, short trial in adults with overweight or obesity. The blood-pressure result came from a subgroup. Bone and metabolic outcomes from the same registered trial are reported separately.
