First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether taking a synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) for 10 weeks can lower TMAO levels and improve other heart health markers in 80 adults who recently had a heart attack. The goal is to see if changing gut bacteria can help prevent future heart problems. This is an early-stage study to gather data for larger trials.
