Gut health and probiotics study for memory concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how a probiotic supplement affects the gut and thinking in older adults, including those with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's. It may help explain if improving gut health can support brain health.

This study tests whether a probiotic (a supplement with helpful bacteria) can help slow down memory and thinking problems in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for adults aged 60–85 who have noticed their memory getting worse over time but can still handle daily activities.
This trial tests whether a natural plant compound can help support memory and thinking in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. You may qualify if you are over 50, overweight, eat a typical Western diet, and have a family history of Alzheimer's.
This study tests whether daily probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It's an early-phase trial to see if probiotics are safe and might improve thinking and memory.
This study tests whether a precision probiotic supplement can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who also have signs of amyloid buildup in the brain. If you qualify, you would be randomly assigned to take the probiotic or a placebo for a period of time.
