Comparing vitamin D from fish waste vs. synthetic in adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether vitamin D made from fish waste works as well as lab-made vitamin D for healthy adults with low vitamin D levels. You would take one of the two types for a few weeks to see if your vitamin D levels improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 60 years old

This study compares vitamin D levels measured from three different blood sampling methods to see if a simple upper-arm device is as good as a finger-prick or standard blood draw. It may help make future vitamin D testing easier and less painful.
This study compares different forms of vitamin D3 to find which works best for adults with low vitamin D levels. If you have a vitamin D deficiency and are generally healthy, this trial may help determine the most effective supplement for you.
This trial tests two forms of vitamin D (cholecalciferol and calcifediol) to see which better raises vitamin D levels in people with a deficiency. It may help you if your vitamin D is low, but you don't have osteoporosis or liver/kidney problems.
This study tests whether a specially grown tomato soup (with extra vitamin D) can raise your vitamin D levels over 3 weeks. You'll eat one soup packet each day. It's for people who have low but not severely low vitamin D.
This trial compares how well your body absorbs two different supplement formulas. It may help researchers understand which formula is better for healthy adults.
This trial compares a new blood test (Maglumi X3 SNIBE) for measuring vitamin D levels against standard methods. It includes healthy volunteers and patients scheduled for major surgery, to see how well the new test works.
