Brief summary
To describe the plasma and urinary pharmacokinetics of quercetin glucuronide and kaempferol glucuronide after the administration of a single peroral dose of 1,800mg Red Vine Leaf Extract (Antistax®). Additionally, the trial evaluated the safety and tolerability of this dose in healthy subjects.
