Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

Researchers at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico are studying whether a daily agave fiber supplement changes gut bacteria and physical performance in healthy adult athletes. Twelve participants take 10 grams of agavins in warm water every day for six weeks. The team measures bacterial populations in stool samples, VO2max, lactate, and creatine kinase before and after the supplement to see if any shifts in gut microbes line up with changes in performance or metabolic stress.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
agave inulin fiber supplement
What this could lead to
If agave fiber changes gut bacteria in ways that help athletes, it could point toward simple dietary strategies for performance and recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a tiny study of 12 athletes with no control group, so any changes seen may be due to training, diet, or chance rather than the fiber itself.
