Probiotics and vitamin B2 for memory in older adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining probiotics (good bacteria) with riboflavin (vitamin B2) can help improve thinking and memory in older adults who have mild cognitive issues. If it works, it could offer a simple way to support brain health.
