      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Other design features: The intervention will last for 8 weeks. The study participants will be divided into four groups:1- Curcumin group; 2- Vitamin D group; 3- Curcumin and vitamin D group; 4- Placebo group, Randomization description: Using random allocation software with a block size of 4 and a ratio of 1:1:1:1,
the groups assigned to each participant will be labeled as A, B, C, D in identical sealed envelopes by an outsider, Blinding description: The appearance, packaging, color, and size of the supplements and placebos will be similar. The supplements and placebos will be labeled by an outsider in line with the names of the groups with letters A, B, C, and D. Therefore, both the participants and the researcher will be unaware of the study groups and the use of the drug and placebo until the end of the study.</study_design>
