Gut fungi mystery: can a supplement change your inner ecosystem?
NCT ID NCT06433310
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether the dietary supplement L-Phenylalanine can change the levels of fungi (like Candida) and a specific metabolite in the gut of 20 healthy adults. Researchers will measure these changes in stool, swabs, and blood samples over time. The goal is to better understand how diet affects the gut's fungal community and immune reactions.
