Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the first pass metabolism of instilled 13C B vitamins by measuring the difference in concentrations of the two different type of B vitamins being tracked.Timepoint: Only Baseline over a period of 4 hrs

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the total absorption of 13C labelled B vitamins from the colon, thereby develop a relationship between the concentrations of B vitamins observed in the systemic circulation & the actual amount absorbed in the colon of the subject.Timepoint: Only Baseline over a period of 4 hrs
