This early-stage study tests whether changing the gut bacteria using an oral stool-based treatment (called oral FMT) can improve health in older adults. It aims to see if this approach affects aging-related changes, including gut and body function.
This study looks at how eating more plant-based foods affects muscle health in people aged 65 and older. Participants will eat either a diet with extra plants or a standard diet, and we'll check their muscles and overall health.
This study tests whether a special drink with added fiber can improve gut health in older adults who are at risk of malnutrition. It compares the fiber drink to another drink without fiber, both providing the same calories and protein.
This trial tests how two types of fiber—from rice bran and wheat—affect the bacteria living in your gut. It's for healthy adults to help scientists understand how fiber can support digestion and overall health.
This study tests how healthy adults over 60 process a protein building block called tryptophan found in cornmeal. It may help researchers understand how aging affects protein metabolism.
