Blood collection
BLOOD
Twenty milliliter blood specimens were collected in the morning subsequent to a 12‐h overnight fasting. Blood samples were obtained from each participant 3 days prior to the intervention and within 3 days subsequent to the consuming last capsule. We used both serum separator tubes and EDTA tubes for the purpose of this study. Serum samples were stored −80°C in a reference laboratory until analysis. EDTA tube was used to quantify blood cell counts.
