BACKGROUND: Dairy products not only reduce the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases but may play a role in the treatment of obesity. As there is some evidence that calcium (Ca) and vitamin D may play a role in effective weight management, we decided to evaluate the influence of Ca and vitamin D supplementation on weight and fat loss in obese women. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Forty obese women were enrolled in this study. Subjects were divided into 2 groups comparable with body mass index (BMI) and age. Group 1 was provided with calcium carbonate and 1-(OH)-vitamin D supplementation. Group 2 was provided with only a diet. Subjects participated in a 3-month weight reduction therapy (balanced diet, modification of life style, and regular physical exercise). Blood samples (serum concentration of Ca, phosphorus (P), parathormone (PTH), 25-(OH)-D3) and clinical characteristics (weight, height, BMI, body composition) were taken at baseline and after the 3-month program. RESULTS: No significant differences of body weight, body fat content, serum parathormone, 25-(OH)-D3 concentration, and plasma totalCa and P concentration were observed between analyzed groups both before and after the treatment. Additionally, we did not observe any significant influence of Ca and vitamin D supplementation on weight and fat loss. CONCLUSION:Ca plus vitamin D supplementation during a 3-month low caloric diet has no additional effect on weight and fat loss in obese women.
