Summary
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can help reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, and improve quality of life. The trial will include 140 peri- or post-menopausal women who have frequent symptoms. Participants will take either the probiotic blend or a placebo for several weeks, and researchers will track changes using a standard symptom questionnaire.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
probiotic blend (Levilactobacillus brevis KABP-052, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABP-051, Pediococcus acidilactici KABP-021)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural, non-hormonal option to reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 140 participants, so results may not apply to all women. Probiotics are generally safe, but the effect on symptoms may be small or no better than placebo.
