No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether folate produced by bacteria that live in our colon can be absorbed in human colon using a stable isotope method. This study would lead a better understanding of the bioavailability of colonic bacterially-synthesized folate and its quantitative contribution to whole body folate homeostasis.
