Probiotics and gut health during antibiotic treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic or postbiotic (beneficial bacteria or their byproducts) during antibiotic treatment helps protect your gut bacteria. Antibiotics can kill helpful bacteria in your digestive system, and this research explores whether supplements might help restore balance.
