NCT ID NCT07499414
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a bile acid supplement called 7-keto lithocholic acid (7-KLCA) can change the types of bacteria living in the gut and improve health markers like blood sugar and cholesterol. Researchers will give the supplement to 40 healthy adults aged 18 to 65 for 12 weeks and measure changes in stool and blood samples. The goal is to learn if this supplement can help regulate metabolism and potentially lower disease risk.
