Summary

This study tests whether a supplement containing a beneficial gut bacterium (Akkermansia muciniphila) and a plant compound (berberine) can improve how night-shift workers process sugar. Two hundred healthcare and industrial shift workers in Austria and Denmark will take either the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks, then switch after a break. The goal is to see if this combination can reduce the risk of diabetes and other metabolic problems linked to disrupted sleep and eating patterns.
