Summary

This study looked at whether taking two types of probiotics (Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus paracasei) every day for a year could help improve bone density in women who have gone through menopause. 170 women with low bone mass took either the probiotic or a placebo. The goal was to see if these friendly bacteria could slow bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures.
