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.
