Could a daily supplement soothe your gut and boost microbiome?
NCT ID NCT07453823
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can improve gut health and reduce mild stomach discomfort in adults aged 50-70 who are overweight. Participants take the supplement or a placebo daily for 8 weeks, and researchers measure changes in gut bacteria and digestive symptoms. The goal is to see if this simple addition can help with issues like bloating or irregular bowel movements.

- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement may not improve symptoms or gut function significantly.
