First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving patients special nutritional supplements before and after jaw surgery could reduce weight loss and speed up recovery. 150 adults having single- or double-jaw surgery were split into two groups that got the supplements and one control group. Their weight and body composition were tracked for 8 weeks after surgery.
