  4. Cytokines (IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8 & TNF-α) [ Time Frame: 0-4 weeks ]
    Change in inflammatory cytokines (IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8 & TNF-α)

  5. Serum Vitamin D [ Time Frame: 0-4 weeks ]
    Change in serum vitamin D (ng/mL)

    1. Complete abstinence from intercourse two weeks prior to administration of the investigational product, throughout the clinical trial, until the completion of follow-up procedures or for two weeks following discontinuation of the investigational product in cases where participant discontinues the trial prematurely. (Participants utilising this method must agree to use an alternate method of contraception if they should become sexually active and will be queried on whether they have been abstinent in the preceding 2 weeks when they present to the clinic for the Final Visit).

    5. Use of any non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) or contraceptive implant with published data showing that the highest expected failure rate is less than 1 % per year. The participant must have the device inserted at least 2 weeks prior to the first Screening Visit, throughout the trial, and 2 weeks following the end of the trial.
  4. Are hypersensitive or known allergy to any of the components of the investigational product.
