Summary

This study tests whether a daily milk powder containing probiotics and prebiotics can change the gut bacteria of healthy adults aged 40 to 65. About 100 participants in Singapore will drink the powder twice a day for at least 28 days. Researchers will compare stool samples, blood tests, sleep, activity, and thinking skills before and after the intervention to see if the drink makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: synbiotic nutritional product (probiotic and prebiotic blend in milk powder)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a daily synbiotic drink supports a healthier gut microbiome in middle-aged and older adults, pointing toward simple dietary strategies for healthy aging.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early exploratory study with no placebo group, so results may be due to chance or other factors. It only looks at short-term changes (28-35 days) and cannot prove long-term benefits.
