First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether a dietary supplement made from the tinder fungus can safely ease gut symptoms in adults with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Participants will drink the supplement and be monitored for changes in symptoms, inflammation markers, and endoscopic findings. The goal is to see if this natural product might offer a new way to help manage these chronic inflammatory bowel conditions.
