NCT ID NCT07490587

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium lactis XLTG11) can lower the chance of allergies in healthy infants under 3 years old who are at higher risk. Over 180 days, researchers will track allergy symptoms and analyze gut bacteria changes. The goal is to see if this simple intervention can support immune development and reduce allergic reactions.
