First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether a multi-strain probiotic supplement called Smile Probio 45B is easy for healthy adults to take and whether it helps with digestion, fatigue, and quality of life. Forty healthy adults will take the probiotic daily for 30 days, starting with one capsule and increasing to three. They will track their bowel habits, symptoms, and energy levels, and complete questionnaires about their well-being.
