First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether taking daily probiotics (Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus paracasei) for 12 months could improve bone density in postmenopausal women with low bone mass. 170 women participated, taking either the probiotic or a placebo. The goal was to see if these friendly bacteria could help prevent osteoporosis and fractures.
