Participants will be screened through a phone call to ensure they meet the appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria to enter the study before attending the clinic for tests to assess blood based vitamin and minerals levels, cognitive function, well-being questionnaires and tests to look at function of their gut barrier and activity of gut bacteria.
