COLON VITAMIN

摘要

A colon vitamin includes ingredients that are delivered to different regions of the digestive tract. A first group of ingredients which can include: vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, beta-carotene, selenium, curcumin, green tea extract, and a portion of the calcium serving can be in a first delivery mechanism that releases these ingredients in the stomach. A second delivery mechanism is used to deliver elemental calcium intact through the stomach and small intestine to the large intestine. The delivery of the ingredients to specific areas of the digestive tract reduces the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancers.
