Effect of Phosphorus Supplementation on Body Weight

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2013
Phosphorus is a mineral that is naturally present in our foods and is required by our bodies for normal function. It has been found that phosphorus supplementation taken before meals has the potential to reduce meal size. However its long term effect has not been measured yet. It is well accepted that changes in body weight require about 3 months. Using body weight as the outcome, which is the ultimate outcome of weight loss approaches, would provide robust information on the role of phosphorus.
