Detailed Description

This clinical study is designed to evaluate difference in the AUC of the absorption of Multivitamin and minerals:

  1. Tablet/capsule administration - up to 20 healthy volunteers will be recruited to the study. The tablet/capsule will be administered as a single dose after 12 hours of fasting. The participants will be monitored during 6 hours for the level of minerals and Multivitamin minerals in the blood, adverse events and vital signs.
  2. Gel administration - the gel will be administrated to the same group of patients in the single dose after 12 hours of fasting. The participants will be monitored during 6 hours for the level of minerals and Multivitamin minerals in the blood, adverse events and vital signs.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Tablet
The tablet/capsule will be administered as a single dose of Multivitamins in tablet after 12 hours of fasting. The participants will be monitored during 6 hours for the level of minerals and Multivitamin minerals in the blood, adverse events and vital signs. The results will be used for the AUC calculation of the absorption in order to compare with the Gel administration absorption.

After the study product administration blood tests will be performed in order to calculate the AUC for each mineral and vitamin - Vit A Vit E Folic Acid Vit C Calcium Magnesium

After the washout period, the same procedure will be done for the additional formulation of the multivitamins.

Active Comparator: Gel
The gel will be administrated to the same group of patients in the single dose of Multivitamins in gel after 12 hours of fasting. The participants will be monitored during 6 hours for the level of minerals and Multivitamin minerals in the blood, adverse events and vital signs. The results will be used for the AUC calculation of the absorption in order to compare with the Tablet administration absorption.

After the study product administration blood tests will be performed in order to calculate the AUC for each mineral and vitamin - Vit A Vit E Folic Acid Vit C Calcium Magnesium

After the washout period, the same procedure will be done for the additional formulation of the multivitamins.
