Total number of visits: 2, pre-intervention blood draw and urine sample collection, post-intervention blood draw and urine sample collection and interview Length of each visit: 15-30 minutes Total expected duration of participants' involvement: 15 days During the two-week intervention, volunteers will take two 1/2g capsules of the combination capsule, twice daily immediately after morning and evening meals.

Participants will donate a blood sample (pre & post intervention), two-3 tsp size tubes of blood will be collected in CPT tubes during each blood draw. Urine sample (pre & post intervention). During the 2-wk intervention period, the participant will be ingesting a nutritional supplement. Two capsules taken orally twice daily with meals, no other tests will be performed.

The target accrual goal is 15 subjects. It is hoped that of those 15, at least 10 will be intervention compliant, and provide both planned blood samples. NF-kB levels will be measured using a supershift assay, which tests the specificity and level of NF-kB in the sample by measuring the optical density of a scan. With 10 patients, the mean difference in blood lymphocyte NF-kB level could be estimated to within 0.44 standard 7 deviations, with 80% confidence. That is reasonable precision and confidence level for a small pilot study, and should provide sufficiently precise estimates for use in planning a subsequent study.
