The gastrointestinal status of healthy adults: a post hoc assessment of the impact of three distinct probiotics
There is a growing awareness that supplementation with probiotic bacteria can impart beneficial effects during gastrointestinal disease, but less is known about the impact of probiotics on healthy subjects. Here, we report the outcomes of a post hoc analysis of 16s rRNA analysis alongside faecal and serum short chain fatty acid profiles and faecal bile profiles taken from healthy adults participating in a placebo-controlled, single-centre, randomised, double-blind, quadruple-arm probiotic tolerability study.
