Summary
This early-phase study tests whether transplanting gut bacteria from young, physically active donors into older adults (ages 65-84) can improve muscle strength, thinking ability, and metabolism. The goal is to see if restoring a more youthful gut microbiome can help seniors stay resilient against age-related decline. The treatment is given as capsules containing freeze-dried bacteria, and the study tracks safety and changes in strength, mobility, and cognition.
