Evaluation of the Effect of the Consumption of Papaya, Tomato, and Carrot on the Bioavailability of Carotenoids
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Papaya, Carrot, and 1 other intervention for Focus of Study: Carotenoid Absorption. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to determine if papaya fruits are an exceptionally good food source for carotenoids in humans, particularly when compared more common carotenoid sources like carrots and tomatoes.
