简要总结
The purpose of this interventional, single-arm pilot study aimed to evaluate the new product that newly developed contains a mixture of prebiotics and probiotics to gain insights of GI function acceptance, microbiological composition and related benefits before and after study product consumption in population aged between 50-70 years.
This project also serves the purpose of formulating conceptual hypothesis and directions of exploration for future research.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Microbiological change from stool samples collected at baseline and in the days after study product usage
- Gastrointestinal function and acceptance assessed during the study period
- Health related outcomes assessed via wearable device
- Any safety events
No comparison group
Participants will:
- Take study product
- Visit the study site
- Collect the stool sample
- Record daily gastrointestinal tolerance and health data
