Probiotic drink could turn back the clock on aging arteries
NCT ID NCT05296395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a probiotic drink called Lp299v (found in GoodBelly StraightShot) can reverse age-related stiffening of blood vessels in healthy adults aged 50 to 99. The 20 participants will take the drink daily and have their blood vessel function measured. It is a small, early-stage trial to see if targeting gut bacteria can improve vascular health.
