Could a daily probiotic capsule tame irritable bowel syndrome?
NCT ID NCT06687720
First seen Jul 31, 2026 ยท Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an oral probiotic supplement called MetBroma can safely reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and improve quality of life. Adults aged 18 to 60 with an IBS diagnosis will take the probiotic capsule twice a day, and researchers will track changes in symptoms, lifestyle impact, and blood markers like protein levels. The study is small and early-stage, so it aims to gather initial evidence on whether this approach is worth pursuing.
