NCT ID NCT07476573
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a probiotic called Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Dad-13, originally from buffalo milk curd, can improve gut health and physical performance in 30 adolescent athletes. Participants will take the probiotic and have their gut bacteria, inflammation markers, and VO2max measured. The goal is to see if this supplement can boost endurance and gut wellness.
