Diet and supplement combo tested for PCOS relief
NCT ID NCT07342946
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a low-calorie Mediterranean diet plus a synbiotic supplement (a mix of good bacteria and fiber) can improve body measurements, blood markers, and quality of life in overweight or obese women with PCOS. About 32 women will be randomly assigned to get either the supplement or a placebo, while all follow the same diet for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if adding the supplement offers extra benefits beyond diet alone.
