RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and urine from healthy participants receiving antioxidant nutritional supplements may help doctors identify changes in biomarkers related to oxidative stress.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well a nutritional supplement capsule containing curcumin, green tea extract, Polygonum cuspidatum extract, and soybean extract works in healthy participants.

OBJECTIVES:
Primary
OUTLINE: Participants receive oral curcumin/green tea extract/Polygonum cuspidatum extract/soybean extract capsule twice daily for 2 weeks. Participants are asked to keep a pill diary to track compliance.
Blood and urine samples are collected from participants at baseline and after completion of study. Lymphocytes and serum from the blood samples are isolated and analyzed for NF-κB biomarker levels. Urine samples are also tested for oxidative stress marker levels. Samples are analyzed using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).
