Clinical Study Title:
Riboflavin intakes and status of morbidly obese females during the
first postoperative year following gastroplasty.
| Plain
English Summary: |
This
study looked at the use and effectiveness for a vitamin
B2 supplement for patients who have had a gastroplasty.
A total of 15 participants were included in this study.
Half of the participants were given a placebo, while
the other half was given vitamin b2 supplements every
day for a year. Most of the participants had some
deficiencies in vitamin B2 before the study. Those
participants taking the vitamin B2 supplements received
some nutritional benefit. This suggests that patients
who have gastroplasty would benefit from a vitamin
B2 supplement before and after surgery. |
