Synbiotic vs. probiotic for heart and gut health
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a synbiotic (a combination of probiotics and prebiotics) is better than a probiotic alone or a placebo for improving gut health and heart health. If you are a healthy adult who hasn't taken antibiotics recently and has few heart disease risk factors, you may be able to join.
