NCT ID NCT06883994

Summary

This small pilot study aimed to see if eating fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut or kimchi, changes the amount of good bacteria in the gut and is well-tolerated. Researchers enrolled 24 healthy adults to test this before planning a larger study with older participants. They measured gut bacteria levels, digestive symptoms, and stool patterns to gather initial data.
