Scientists probe how fiber changes your gut to fight heart risk

NCT ID NCT03773900

Summary

This study tested whether taking a daily fiber supplement for three weeks could change the types and activity of gut bacteria in people at risk for heart disease and obesity. Researchers measured bacteria and other health markers in stool, blood, and breath to see if the fiber improved metabolism. The goal was to understand how this specific fiber might support health, not to provide a treatment.
