      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Basic scienece, Other design features: -, Randomization description: From among the patients who volunteer to participate in the study, 36 individuals will be selected by simple randomization. 
Randomization method: Blocking
Randomization unit: individual
stratification: age and sex
Randomization tool: Random allocation software
Method of random sequence generation: Random allocation software 
Allocation concealment: The generated random sequence will be kept in a protected location and administered by an independent party who is not involved in the trial throughout the study. Due to proper allocation concealment, trial investigators and participants will be unaware of upcoming allocations, Blinding description: This is a double blind study in which the researcher and patients who participate in study will be blinded to the group assignments. The patients will receive the supplements by another person who is not involved in doing the assessment and chemical analysis. Patients will be informed about the type of supplements (nanocurcumin and placebo) however they will not be aware about the group assignments.
Placebo capsules are identical to nanocurcumin supplements in shape and color and size.</study_design>
