First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a daily multivitamin tablet can prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies in people using GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic or Saxenda) for weight loss. These drugs suppress appetite, which can lead to low nutrient intake. The trial will compare a multivitamin to a placebo over 12 months in 150 adults with obesity. Researchers will measure blood nutrient levels to see if the supplement helps maintain healthy levels.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that taking a daily multivitamin helps prevent nutrient deficiencies in people using GLP-1 drugs for weight loss.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-phase trial. The supplement may not prevent all deficiencies, and results may not apply to everyone. There is little risk from the supplement itself.
