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.

Elan Believe and Elan Compass bariatric supplements

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that tailored supplements better manage vitamin and mineral levels after weight-loss surgery, reducing both deficiencies and overdoses.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 4 trial with 249 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplements are dietary, not drugs, so the impact may be modest.
