Running, not enrolling · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Gastrointestinal Disease Symptoms
In brief
The aim of this study is to determine how regular consumption of Synbiotic+, a dietary supplement that contains prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, impacts functional gastrointestinal health, markers of intestinal inflammation and immune health, and influences mood and behavior. The primary outcome will be to assess gastrointestinal health using bowel movement tracking, self-report and objective assessments of gastrointestinal symptom severity, stool levels of short chain fatty acids, changes in the gut microbiota, including recovery of LGG and BB-12, and functional measures of the microbiome. Secondary outcomes will include stool and blood markers of gut barrier function and intestinal inflammation, immune health, and self-assessments of stress, anxiety, sleep, and quality of life.
