Brief Summary: The purpose of the trial was to determine whether a 36-ingredient micronutrient supplement primarily vitamins and minerals is beneficial for the treatment of bipolar disorder when studied under randomized and fully blinded conditions and compared to a placebo The supplement is referred to as MCN36 because it contains 36 nutrients Based on the preliminary research on this supplement it is hypothesized that patients who take MCN36 for 8 weeks will experience improved mood stability relative to those who take the placebo All participants must live EITHER in the vicinity of Calgary Alberta Canada OR in the area of San Diego California
Detailed Description: This RCT randomized clinical trial compared MCN36 to placebo in patients randomized to receive one or the other for 8 weeks Close medical supervision was provided with weekly appointments At the end of the 8 weeks all participants were offered the opportunity of entering an 8-week open-label extension

The efficacy objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of MCN36 compared with placebo in otherwise medication-free adults with bipolar disorder I and II in improving overall symptomatology at the end of 8 weeks of therapy as assessed under randomized and fully blinded conditions

as measured by the clinician using the Overall Bipolarity Index OBI primary outcome measure
as measured by the clinician using the Clinical Global Impressions for Bipolar Disorder CGI-BP for Severity
as measured by self-report recorded on the Outcome Questionnaire OQ
in terms of rate of response with response defined as a reduction of 50 or more in either the depression or the mood elevation component of the OBI
in terms of functional states and health-related quality of life as measured by The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey SF-36

The safety-related objective was to assess the safety of MCN36 compared with placebo in terms of

laboratory analyses
treatment-emergent adverse events which will be solicited at each appointment using the Adverse Event Log

Participants had two appointments for screening and confirming suitability for the trial Between those two appointments they provided a blood sample and met with a research nurse They also kept a 7-day food record of their food intake prior to the second appointment If suitability was confirmed at the second visit they entered the randomized phase
