Gut Microbiota Modulation
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the probiotic LH76 as a dietary supplement in healthy adults. The research will assess its effects on gut microbiota composition, intestinal health, and immune function compared to a placebo. Key outcomes include changes in microbial diversity, intestinal barrier integrity, and immune response markers over the intervention period. The findings will contribute to understanding the potential health benefits of LH76 and its role in supporting gut and immune health.
Interventions
Every day to give 3 g maltodextrin intervention for 8 weeks. Store in a cool and dry place.
Intervention with LH76 (30 billion CFU/ day, 3g) was administered daily for 8 weeks. Store in a cool, dry place.

| Changes in Gut Microbiota Composition in Response to LH76 Supplementation | Week 0 and Week 8 | This study assesses the impact of LH76 supplementation on gut microbiota diversity and composition using high-throughput sequencing. The primary objective is to determine whether LH76 supplementation leads to significant improvements in gut microbiota balance compared to a placebo. Changes in microbial diversity, relative abundance of beneficial bacteria will be analyzed to assess the probiotic's effectiveness. |
