Gastrointestinal Microbiome, Healthy Diet, Probiotics
Conditions
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 16S metagenomics based measurement of the bacterial diversity (alpha- and beta diversity indices), and the composition (relative abundance of the bacterial taxa in each sample) | up to 24 weeks | Potential changes of microbiome after consumption of the water kefir will be assessed by analyzing the 16S metagenomics |
