Probiotic milk drink for gut and brain health
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic milk drink can improve gut and brain health in older adults with Alzheimer's or related dementias, and their caregivers. Participants will drink the probiotic or a placebo for a period, and the researchers will look at changes in health.

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 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 trial tests a new probiotic (Lactococcus lactis CKDB001) to see if it can slow memory loss in people with early Alzheimer's. It’s a 12-week study that requires a positive amyloid PET scan and allows mild to moderate symptoms.
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.
