Plasma concentrations of vitamin C & E and β-carotene. Plasma concentrations of vitamin C & E and β-carotene were measured at base line, 6 and 10 weeks. Data are expressed as LSM (± 95% CI). Levels in the micronutrient groups (micronutrient group ▲ and micronutrient + colostrum group △) are significantly different from levels in non-vitamin group (control ■ and colostrum group □) with ** p < 0.0001.
