研究概览

简要总结

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a butyrate/polyphenol formulation on modulation of the gut microbiome and gastrointestinal symptoms using questionnaires in individuals with self-reported gastrointestinal discomfort.

详细描述

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of a butyrate/polyphenol formulation on gut health and associated symptoms in healthy individuals.

Participants will be asked to complete a laboratory assessment and questionnaires. A total of up to 124 subjects (62 subjects per arm) will be enrolled for the 14-day period. Laboratory testing will include an assessment of the Gut Microbiome.
