Young Donors' gut bugs tested as Anti-Aging treatment for elderly
NCT ID NCT06649981
Summary
This early-stage study is testing whether transplanting gut bacteria from young, physically active donors into healthy older adults can help them maintain muscle strength, cognitive function, and metabolic health. Researchers will give 80 participants either capsules containing the processed gut bacteria or a placebo. The goal is to see if this 'fecal microbiota transplant' can make older adults more resilient, especially during stressful times.
