Summary
This study tested whether a synbiotic (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can improve endurance in trained cyclists. Twenty-two adults who cycle at least 3 hours per week took the supplement or a placebo for several weeks, then completed a 20-kilometer time trial. Researchers measured completion time, oxygen use, and gut health to see if the supplement made a difference.
