Trace element supplementation preserves metabolic resilience in chronic kidney disease

Preprint B Not peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

This preprint reports a trial of 80 people on dialysis. Half took a mix of trace elements, and the other half took a placebo. The group taking the elements showed better metabolic health. This is a small trial, so the results need more testing.
