Fiber and probiotics: a new hope for bloating and irregularity?
NCT ID NCT07755735
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a daily fiber and probiotic supplement can improve gut health in adults who experience bloating, irregular bowel movements, and poor gut health. Over 12 weeks, participants take either the active supplement or a placebo twice a day. Researchers measure changes in gut symptoms, waist size, and body composition to see if the supplement makes a real difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A daily fiber and probiotic supplement containing acacia fiber, collagen peptides, and Bacillus coagulans
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this supplement could offer a simple, non-prescription way to ease bloating, improve regularity, and support overall gut health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to everyone. The supplement could cause digestive side effects, and any benefits might be modest or due to a placebo effect.
