A dietary supplement's effect on gut fungi in healthy adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a dietary supplement (L-phenylalanine) can affect the natural balance of fungi in the gut. Healthy volunteers take the supplement for a short time, and researchers check how it changes their gut fungi.
