NCT ID NCT07021248
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving people special supplements designed for their type of weight-loss surgery can help keep their vitamin levels healthy. After bariatric surgery, the body absorbs nutrients differently, which can lead to both deficiencies and, from too many supplements, vitamin B6 overdose. The trial will follow 249 adults for a year to see if these custom supplements reduce the risk of high or low vitamin levels.
