Summary
This early-stage study tests whether transplanting gut bacteria from young, physically active donors into older adults (ages 65-84) can improve muscle strength, thinking skills, and metabolism. The goal is to see if this approach can help seniors stay resilient and independent. The treatment is given as capsules, and researchers will monitor safety and any changes in strength, mobility, and cognitive function.
