Kodo millet porridge and its effect on gut health and metabolic syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating Kodo millet porridge every day for 12 weeks can improve gut health and reduce risk factors for metabolic syndrome (like being overweight). If you are between 20 and 60 years old, are overweight or obese, and are willing to eat the porridge daily without changing your diet or exercise, you may be able to join.
