Can a Pea-Coated probiotic boost your gut bugs?
NCT ID NCT07510282
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests whether wrapping a probiotic (L. rhamnosus) in pea-protein capsules helps it reach the small intestine and grow. Twenty-five healthy adults will drink a yogurt beverage with or without the probiotic for 28 days, and researchers will track bacteria in stool samples over 70 days. The goal is to understand how targeted delivery affects gut microbes, not to treat any disease.
