NCT ID: NCT06845995 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 32 Completion: 2024-07-09
Conditions
Older Adults, Bioelectrical Impedance, Appetite Hormones, Metabolic Health, Body Composition Measurement, Cognitive Health
Interventions
Synbiotic supplement
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a prebiotic and probiotic supplement on metabolic, cognitive, and muscle health in older adults.
Participants in the study will be older adults who will receive a prebiotic and probiotic supplement containing different strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus gasseri. The study will collect data at baseline and after 3 months of supplementation to compare the effects on metabolic, cognitive, and muscle health. Additionally, genetic variants associated with vitamin D deficiency and muscle phenotypes will be identified in this population.
Primary Outcome
Fecal samples (bacterial diversity)
