New study tests supplement and exercise combo to reverse Pre-Frailty
NCT ID NCT07454616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 12-week program of a special supplement (with synbiotics) plus supervised exercise can improve muscle, gut health, immunity, and thinking in 40 pre-frail adults aged 50-80. The goal is to see if these changes can be measured together as a single score. It is an early-stage exploratory study, not a treatment or cure.
