Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether changes in the activity of the enzyme CYP3A4 can change the Vitamin D and bone mineral homeostasis.

Detailed description

Healthy volunteers will receive one of six interventions for 14 days (determined by randomization):a). 200 mL of water once a day; b) rifampin 600 mg once a day; c) 200 mL of grapefruit juice once a day for 8 days plus rifampin 600 mg once a day for 14 days; d) clarithromycin 250 mg twice a day; f) clarithromycin 250 mg twice a day plus rifampin 600 mg once a day.
