Olestra's effect on vitamins D and E in humans can be offset by increasing dietary levels of these vitamins.
Journal of Nutrition 1997 August
One hundred two normal healthy males and females were given 0, 8, 20 or 32 g/d olestra to which had been added graded amounts of vitamins A, D and E for 8 wk in a parallel, double-blind study. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the amounts of vitamins D and E needed to offset the effect of olestra on the availability of these vitamins. Serum concentrations of retinol, carotenoids, 25-hydroxyvitamin D metabolites, alpha-tocopherol, phylloquinone, lipids, ferritin and total iron, iron-binding capacity and hematology parameters, plasma concentrations of des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin and prothrombin, and urinary gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) excretion were measured biweekly. Clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters, vitamin B12 absorption, and serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentration were measured at wk 0 and 8. Serum concentrations of alpha-tocopherol and 25-hydroxyergocalciferol were restored to control concentration by adding 2.1 mg d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate and 0.06 microg ergocalciferol per gram of olestra, respectively, to the diet. Olestra reduced serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyergocalciferol, carotenoids and phylloquinone in a dose-responsive manner but did not affect Gla excretion, plasma des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin and prothrombin concentrations, overall vitamin D status, vitamin B12 absorption or iron status. Laboratory evaluations showed no olestra-related effects. Subjects in all groups reported mild to moderately severe transient gastrointestinal symptoms. These symptoms did not affect study compliance or the integrity of the data.
