Dairy choline absorption study for postmenopausal women
This study tests how well your body absorbs choline, a nutrient important for health, from dairy smoothies. You'll drink smoothies for 10 days and provide samples to help researchers understand how to improve nutrition for women after menopause.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
