Over-the-counter drugs like acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol®) can be detrimental. In space, astronauts who have pain and constant discomfort use acetaminophen extensively. Investigators are studying the effects of acetaminophen under space-like conditions since acetaminophen might affect astronauts' health. Investigators also wish to see whether a dietary supplement can reduce some negative effects of acetaminophen. It is believed that acetaminophen promotes the productions of chemicals in the body that could be toxic. In this study, measurements of these chemicals in urine after ingestion of 1 tablet of acetaminophen and compare these measurements to when acetaminophen is taken at the same time as a dietary supplement. This study will also explore whether these products are more abundant when blood is placed under conditions that mimic space. Therefore, this study will collect blood from a few volunteers who took acetaminophen, and acetaminophen with the dietary supplement.
