NCT00130585 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 75

Last updated 2005-10-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main objectives of this project are:

1. to determine the relative bioavailability of dietary folate from a total diet, compared with synthetic folic acid and
2. to determine the bioavailability with a higher precision than previous methods.

The hypothesis is that the bioavailability of dietary folate within a confidence interval of +/-20% can be estimated.
