Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Carotenoid; Bioavailability; Dietary Modification

• Registration Number: NCT01856816
• Lead Sponsor: Purdue University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine how different meal patterns influence the absorption of beneficial plant pigments (carotenoids) from vegetables. The hypothesis is that carotenoid absorption will be lower when daily vegetables are consumed in one meal compared two smaller meals throughout the day.
