A colon vitamin includes ingredients that are delivered to different regions of the digestive tract. A first group of ingredients which can include: vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, beta-carotene, selenium, curcumin, green tea extract, and a portion of the calcium serving can be in a first delivery mechanism that releases these ingredients in the stomach. A second delivery mechanism is used to deliver elemental calcium intact through the stomach and small intestine to the large intestine. The delivery of the ingredients to specific areas of the digestive tract reduces the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancers.

1. A colon vitamin taken by a patient to prevent colorectal adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer, the colon vitamin comprising: a first capsule comprising: a first group of ingredients that includes vitamin D and a first portion elemental calcium, a first polymer surrounding the first group of ingredients, the first polymer layer releasing the first group of ingredients in a stomach or a small intestine of the patient wherein the first polymer is made of a first poly(meth)acrylate and includes a time release mechanism that releases the first group of ingredients within about 30 to 90 minutes ingestion by the patient and wherein the first polymer includes a pH release mechanism that releases the first group of ingredients after exposure to digestive liquids having a pH level of less than 5.0; anda second capsule comprising: a second polymer surrounding a second portion of elemental calcium, the second polymer releasing the second portion of elemental calcium in a large intestine of the patient wherein the second polymer is different than the first polymer and made of a second poly(meth)acrylate and wherein the second polymer includes a time release mechanism that releases the second portion of elemental calcium within about 8-20 hours after ingestion by the patient;wherein the first capsule and the second capsule are administered in a single dosage form. 2. The colon vitamin of claim 1 wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are separate structures and the colon vitamin is a two-piece structure. 3. The colon vitamin of claim 1 wherein the first group of ingredients includes the vitamin D and one or more of the following: folate, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, selenium, beta-carotene, curcumin, green tea extract, and a portion of the calcium serving. 4. The colon vitamin of claim 1 wherein first polymer layer includes a pH release mechanism that releases the first group of ingredients after exposure to digestive liquids having a pH level of about 6.0 to 7.0. 5. The colon vitamin of claim 1 wherein second polymer layer includes a pH release mechanism that protects the elemental calcium from digestive liquids having a pH level of less than 5.0 and releases the elemental calcium in the digestive liquids having a pH level equal or greater than 7.0. 6. A colon vitamin for preventing colorectal adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer, the colon vitamin comprising: a first capsule comprising: a first delivery portion that includes vitamin D; a first polymer surrounding the first delivery portion, the first polymer releasing the first delivery portion in a stomach or a small intestine of the patient wherein the first polymer is made of a first poly(meth)acrylate and includes a time release mechanism that releases the first delivery portion within about 30 to 90 minutes ingestion by the patient and wherein the first polymer includes a pH release mechanism that releases the first delivery portion after exposure to digestive liquids having a pH level of less than 5.0;a second capsule comprising: a second delivery portion that includes calcium and at least one other ingredient; and a second polymer surrounding the second delivery portion, the second polymer releasing the second delivery portion in a large intestine of the patient wherein the second polymer is made of a second poly(meth)acrylate that is different than the first poly(meth)acrylate and wherein the second polymer includes a time release mechanism that releases the second portion of elemental calcium within about 8-20 hours after ingestion by the patient;wherein the first capsule and the second capsule are administered in a single dosage form. 7. The colon vitamin of claim 6 wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are separate structures and the colon vitamin is a two piece structure. 8. The colon vitamin of claim 6 wherein the first group of ingredients includes one or more of the following: folate, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, selenium, beta-carotene, curcumin, green tea extract, and a portion of the calcium serving. 9. The colon vitamin of claim 6 wherein first polymer includes a pH release mechanism that releases the first group of ingredients after exposure to digestive liquids having a pH level of 6.0 to 7.0. 10. The colon vitamin of claim 6 wherein second polymer includes a pH release mechanism that protects the second delivery portion from digestive liquids having a pH level of less than 5.0 and dissolves in liquids having a pH level equal to or greater than 7.0.
