NCT ID NCT07252778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 2-week course of a multi-strain probiotic supplement can reduce stomach and gut issues that elite female rowers often experience during intense exercise. Thirty athletes from the Polish national team will take either the probiotic or a placebo, and researchers will measure gut health markers in blood and stool. The goal is to see if probiotics can help athletes train harder with less digestive discomfort.
