Can a fiber supplement boost your vaccine power?

NCT ID NCT04543877

Summary

This study tested whether adding a fiber supplement called inulin to the diet could improve gut health and the body's immune response to a vaccine. For about five weeks, 60 healthy adults with low-fiber diets took either inulin or a placebo (maltodextrin) and received an oral typhoid vaccine. Researchers measured changes in gut bacteria, gut inflammation, and immune markers in the blood and stool to see if the fiber made a difference.
