Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this intervention study is to analyse the microbiota composition after the water kefir consumption. The main questions are to evaluate the potential probiotic drink can have beneficial effect on the gut microbiota. Participants will consume the water kefir for two weeks and microbiota will be analysed. Researchers will compare the microbiota composition before and after consumption.
