This study will provide the information about the in vitro bioavailability of As and Pb in SierraSil® at the first time and validate the possible product specific bioaccessibility method that can be used to predict bioavailability. This study will first compare the mineral composition of SierraSil® after acid and alkaline digestion, thus it is possible find out the bioactive components in SierraSil®. We will also be able to provide the proof of the recommendation for the patients who take SierraSil® with other medication or natural health products. At last, this study may add new application of SierraSil® on intestinal inflammation and provide the possible anti-inflammatory mechanisms for SierraSil®.
