Protocol summary
Study aim
The effect of boron citrate supplementation on nutritional status, cardiometabolic factors, inflammatory indices, serum level of thyroid hormones and oxidative stress indices in obese people
Design
randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial, containing supplement and intervention groups, with parallel groups, sample size of 60 participants (30 in each group), RAS (Random Allocation Software) used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted on 60 obese patients at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences Faculty of Nutrition. Patients will be divided into 2 equal groups of supplement and placebo and will receive boron citrate and placebo (maltodextrin) respectively for 12 weeks. In order to blind all researchers and participants, a person not involved in the experiment randomly assigns a list to the participants in each group and labels all identical containers (in appearance and color) according to their number. Therefore, participants will be unaware of the type of intervention they are receiving. The random sequence will also be unpredictable.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: obese people/Exclusion criteria: pregnancy and breastfeeding, smoking, following special diets 3 months before the study, taking chemical or herbal weight loss drugs, taking hepatotoxic drugs, taking blood pressure control drugs and blood lipid-lowering drugs
Intervention groups
Participants will be divided into two groups of 30 people: intervention group (1 capsule containing 10 mg boron citrate per day before lunch) and placebo group (1 capsule per day of maltodextrin before lunch) and will use the supplement or placebo for 12 weeks.
Main outcome variables
glucose-insulin-HbA1c-insulin resistance with HOMA-IR score, lipid pattern, systolic and diastolic blood pressure)
CRP, TNF-α, IL-10, and IL-6

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
To stratify individuals into distinct strata and blocks, stratified block randomization will be implemented based on age (18-40 vs. 40-60 years) and gender (male vs. female). For each individual placed in a given stratum, a matched individual is considered based on these variables in the same stratum. As a result, two participants with similar characteristics (for age and gender) are placed in the same stratum. Finally, each stratum will be randomly allocated to the intervention or control groups using Random Allocation Software (RAS). Participants and researchers will be blinded to the randomization and allocation until the end of the study. The randomization list will be provided by the pharmacist of the research center at the end of the study.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, patients and researchers will be blind to the type of supplements (boron citrate or placebo). The person responsible for preparing the supplement packages (a person completely unrelated to the study) will be asked to assign a three-digit code to each of the two received supplements (boron citrate or placebo) and keep the codes for himself until the end of the study.
