Summary

This study tested whether taking a probiotic called Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Bi66 every day for 8 months can improve bowel function in healthy adults who have fewer than 5 bowel movements per week. 117 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the probiotic or a placebo. The researchers measured bowel movement frequency, stool form, and changes in gut bacteria to see if Bi66 had any effect.
