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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MetBroma, an oral probiotic supplement taken as a slow-release capsule twice daily
What this could lead to
If it works, this probiotic could offer a simple, drug-free way to manage IBS symptoms and improve daily life for people with the condition.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Probiotics can also cause mild digestive upset in some people.
