Probiotics for reducing pesticide levels in Martinique
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic daily can help lower the amount of a specific pesticide, called chlordecone (or Kepone), in your blood. If you live in Martinique and have been exposed to this pesticide, this study might help show if probiotics are a safe and effective way to reduce that exposure.
