Clinical Trial of Two Study Drinks in Detoxification of Environmental Toxicants and Carcinogens
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this research is to determine if consuming one of two study drinks will help enhance the detoxification of multiple environmental toxicants and cancer causing agents, particularly in subjects who are null for glutathione-S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), glutathione-S-transferase T1 (GSTT1), or both. If our research supports this idea, this drink could be an inexpensive dietary component, which could promote good health.
