Probiotic supplement for mild cognitive impairment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a precision probiotic supplement can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who also have signs of amyloid buildup in the brain. If you qualify, you would be randomly assigned to take the probiotic or a placebo for a period of time.

This study tests whether a special drink containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a type of fat) and B vitamins can help support memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You would take the drink daily for 18 months and have regular check-ins including memory tests.
This study tests whether a probiotic (a supplement with helpful bacteria) can help slow down memory and thinking problems in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for adults aged 60–85 who have noticed their memory getting worse over time but can still handle daily activities.
This study tests whether daily probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It's an early-phase trial to see if probiotics are safe and might improve thinking and memory.
This study looks at how a probiotic supplement affects the gut and thinking in older adults, including those with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's. It may help explain if improving gut health can support brain health.
This trial studies whether a daily supplement containing a probiotic and a fiber called inulin can improve mild cognitive impairment (mild memory/thinking difficulties) in older adults. If you have mild cognitive impairment (not dementia), you may be asked to take the supplement and be monitored over time.
This trial tests whether a natural plant compound can help support memory and thinking in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. You may qualify if you are over 50, overweight, eat a typical Western diet, and have a family history of Alzheimer's.
