NCT ID NCT07156097
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a diet rich in boron (found in nuts, dried fruits, and legumes) could improve health in 40 obese adults, compared to a standard Mediterranean diet. Over four weeks, researchers measured changes in body mass index, gut bacteria, appetite hormones, and cholesterol. The goal was to see if boron offers extra benefits for weight management beyond a healthy diet.
