Gut feeling: new supplement aims to soothe digestion and boost mood

NCT ID NCT06834984

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a daily dietary supplement called Synbiotic+, which contains probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics, can improve gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating and irregular bowel movements in healthy women aged 25-65. Researchers will also look at markers of gut inflammation, immune health, and mood. The 60 participants will take either the supplement or a placebo for several weeks, and their gut health will be tracked through stool samples, diaries, and questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

a dietary supplement containing probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12), a prebiotic (bacteriophages), and a postbiotic (tributyrin)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple daily supplement to reduce bloating, gas, and other common gut issues while also supporting mood and immune health.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 healthy women, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement is not a treatment for any disease, and benefits may be modest or no better than placebo.
