Summary

This study is testing whether a prebiotic (a type of fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria) can reduce inflammation and improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Researchers will enroll 60 adults who are stable on antipsychotic medication. The goal is to see if the prebiotic can raise butyrate levels in the blood and boost scores on cognitive tests.
