Summary

This study tested whether a probiotic capsule (Bio-K+) helps adults with long-term constipation. About 168 people took either the probiotic or a placebo daily for 56 days. Researchers tracked changes in complete bowel movements and stool consistency. The goal was to see if the probiotic eases constipation symptoms better than a dummy pill.
