Gut feelings: could everyday prebiotics calm anxiety and improve sleep?

NCT ID NCT07752823

First seen Aug 07, 2026 ยท Last updated Aug 07, 2026

Summary

This large citizen-science trial is testing whether two prebiotic products can reduce feelings of anxiety and improve related outcomes like sleep in adults. Around 1,000 participants will be randomly assigned to take either an active prebiotic or a placebo for 12 weeks, without knowing which they receive. Researchers will track changes in anxiety scores, sleep quality, and safety to see if these products offer a natural way to support mental wellness.
