Can a daily supplement fix your gut? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07355634
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This 12-week study tests whether a synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can improve gut health in 40 adults with dysbiosis, an imbalance in gut bacteria. Participants take either the supplement or a placebo daily, and researchers measure changes in gut bacteria and digestive symptoms. The goal is to see if this simple approach can help people with ongoing gut issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Synbiotic dietary supplement (Enviromedica - Terraflora Daily Care)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement to help balance gut bacteria and ease digestive discomfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement may not outperform placebo.
