Meta- analysis of BMI values at end of trial showed no statistically significant difference in BMI change by use of 25[OH]D supplementation .
Based on existing published trials , oral 25[OH]D supplementation does not significantly impact BMI change
The impact of 25-hydroxyvitamin D ( 25[OH]D ) supplementation on weight change remains controversial .
The objective of this study was to summarize the effects of 25[OH]D supplementation ( cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol ) on BMI change through a meta- analysis of published clinical trials .
Effect of calcium supplementation on weight and fat loss in women.
Data suggest that a diet deficient in calcium is associated with higher body weight and that augmenting calcium intake may reduce weight and fat gain or enhance loss . Our aim was to determine whether calcium supplementation during a weight loss intervention affects body fat or weight loss . Data were combined from three separate 25-wk r and omized , double blind , placebo-controlled trials of 1000 mg/d calcium supplementation in 100 premenopausal and postmenopausal women . The primary outcome measures were change in body weight and fat mass adjusted for baseline values . There were no significant differences in body weight or fat mass change between the placebo and the calcium-supplemented groups in the pooled analysis ( adjusted mean + /- SE ; body weight , placebo -6.2 + /- 0.7 vs. Ca -7.0 + /- 0.7 kg ; fat mass , placebo -4.5 + /- 0.6 vs. Ca -5.5 + /- 0.6 kg ) , and no significant interactions of calcium supplementation with menopausal/diet status . Analysis as separate trials also found no significant differences between the placebo and the calcium groups . Calcium supplementation did not significantly affect amount of weight or fat lost by women counseled to follow a moderately restricted diet for 25 wk . Nevertheless , the magnitude and direction of the differences for group means are consistent with a hypothesized small effect
