Special drink with fiber for gut health in older adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
