Probiotics for weight- and blood-sugar–related gut health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can improve gut health in people with early metabolic problems related to extra body fat, cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar. It’s a Phase 1/2 study, meaning safety and early effectiveness are being tested.
