Probiotic LB42 shows promise for gut and immune boost in healthy adults
NCT ID NCT06873438
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking a daily probiotic called Lactobacillus LB42 can improve gut and immune function in healthy adults aged 18 to 45. Fifty-two participants took either the probiotic or a placebo for a period, and researchers measured changes in immune markers and gut bacteria in their stool. The goal was to see if this food supplement is safe and effective for supporting overall health.
