Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Polyacetylenes, compounds found naturally in carrots, have shown promising anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory actions in vitro but have not been tested in vivo. To determine whether the polyacetylenes could have an effect in vivo, this study aims to determine whether they are detectible in human biofluids after the consumption of a portion of carrots and whether a difference is seen between a large and small portion.
