Gut check: can probiotics ease asthma in obese adults?

NCT ID NCT05949255

Summary

This small, early-stage study is exploring whether taking a daily probiotic supplement for 12 weeks can help improve asthma control and reduce insulin resistance in obese adults who have both conditions. Researchers will measure changes in gut and airway bacteria, body weight, insulin sensitivity, and asthma symptoms. The goal is to see if altering the body's bacteria community leads to better health outcomes for this specific group.
