Testing a special dairy drink for gut and metabolic health
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special dairy product can help improve symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome or early signs of metabolic syndrome. Participants must be at a healthy weight and not have other major health conditions or be on certain diets.
