Probiotic and fiber supplement for memory in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a daily supplement (a probiotic called Lactobacillus acidophilus plus a fiber called inulin) to see if it might help improve memory and thinking in adults with long-term obesity and mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you would take the supplement or a placebo for a period of time while the study team monitors your cognitive function.
