The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of Papillex® on the regression of abnormal cervical cells caused by HPV in women with a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 or 2 diagnosis. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is there a difference in the proportion of participants with a regression in CIN based on histology or cytology from baseline at day 180 between Papillex® and placebo?
Participants will be asked to consume Papillex® or placebo for 180 days, complete questionnaires, a PAP smear, HPV test, and colonoscopy (where applicable).

Inclusion Criteria:
Females between 25 and 55 years of age

Willing to provide copies of histology and/or cytology reports for eligibility confirmation
Agrees to maintain current lifestyle habits (diet, physical activity, medications, supplements, and sleep) as much as possible throughout the study
Willingness to avoid magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray, or other procedures with contrast media injection for 48 hr prior to study visits assessing micronutrient status
Willingness and ability to complete questionnaires and diaries associated with the study, and to complete all clinic visits and assessments
Provided voluntary, written, informed consent to participate in the study
Otherwise healthy as determined by medical history and laboratory results as assessed by Qualified Investigator (QI)
