Filter by:The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn about the effect of consuming a probiotic on the microbiota associated with immune health and inflammation in healthy women and men after 6 weeks of intervention. The main questions to answer are: 1. To study changes in the intestinal microbiota associated with immune health and inflammation related to probiotic intake. 2. To evaluate changes in salivary cortisol after ingestion of the probiotic. 3. To compile the number and intensity of catarrhal episodes suffered by the participants along the study. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind parallel study has been designed. Target sample size is 60 subjects. Participants will be allocated in two groups for 6 weeks: - Experimental group (n=30): daily consumption of one probiotic capsule. - Placebo group (n=30): daily consumption of one placebo capsule.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect on the microbiota and the reduction in the number and/or intensity of symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort of consuming a probiotic or placebo for 6 weeks in adult women and men. The main questions to answer are: 1. To study changes in the alpha diversity of the microbiota. 2. To evaluate changes in the salivary cortisol. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind crossover study has been designed. Target sample size is 30 subjects. Participants will be allocated in two groups for 16 weeks (6 weeks consuming one of the products + 4 weeks wash-out period + 6 weeks consuming the other product). - Group 1 (n=15): 6 weeks daily consumption of one probiotic capsule + 4 weeks wash-out period+ 6 weeks daily consumption of one placebo capsule. - Group 2 (n=15): 6 weeks daily consumption of one placebo capsule + 4 weeks wash-out period+ 6 weeks daily consumption of one probiotic capsule.
The differences observed in host gut microbiome communities between health and disease states, and between different dietary patterns, has led to an increase in the use of dietary modulations to influence microbiome composition, both in research and in commercial contexts. Two particular groups of gut-active compounds include prebiotics (providing a direct source of nutrition that can stimulate host-beneficial microbiota as they are indigestible to the host) and probiotics (providing a direct source of live microorganisms that may potentially colonise the gut after reaching the large intestine, thus altering gut microbiome dynamics). Using a randomised controlled parallel trial design, the ZOE BIOME Study aims to investigate the efficacy of prebiotic and probiotic compounds in improving health outcomes including gut microbiome composition, gastrointestinal symptoms, and cardiometabolic markers of lipaemic, glycaemic and inflammatory status in a remote setting. Further, consumption of high fibre supplements or food ingredients in combination with high carbohydrate meals has been shown to decrease the postprandial glycaemic response. To investigate the acute metabolic effects of prebiotic compounds , a randomised controlled crossover design postprandial study will be conducted. The ZOE BIOME Postprandial Study aims to investigate the efficacy of prebiotic compounds in improving acute postprandial glycaemic response, subjective feelings of hunger, satiety, mood, and subsequent eating behaviours.
The aim of this study is determining the additional effect of a 2-week home usage of chlorhexidine in periodontitis patients undergoing scaling and root planing supplemented with a dual-strain probiotic lozenge.
Probiotics might be of help in preventing dysbiosis and emergence of SIBO. Gastrus consisted of a mixture of two human strains of L. Reuteri DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 6475; the first have extensive data supporting its use in gastric infections (18) however, it lacks the anti-inflammatory properties that have been provided by L. Reuteri DSM ATCC PTA 6475 that has excellent acid resistance and has strong anti-inflammatory properties (19); for these reasons, Gastrus is the best candidate for this indication.
