Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Folic acid (FA) and its derivatives (folate) which play a role in nucleotide synthesis and methylation reactions as well as calcium and vitamin D are assumed to be effective in the prevention of colorectal polyps and Colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study is to investigate the roles of FA as well as calcium and vitamin D in the prevention of CRC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) affects approximately one million people each year with a five-year survival rate of 62% . Considerable interest has recently been focused on the relationship between the chemoprevention of colorectal polyps/CRA and CRC. Therefore, the use of nutritional compounds which are usually less afflicted with the risk of severe side effects for colorectal adenoma (CRA) prevention and health maintenance is an emerging field.
