Effect of Probiotic on the Gut Microbiota of Healthy Volunteers

This placebo-controlled study aims to investigate the effect of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BLa80 supplementation on the status of the gut microbiota of healthy participants. 112 subjects were randomly divided into a placebo group (maltodextrin) and a Bla80 group (maltodextrin + strain BLa80 in 1 × 10 10 colony-forming units/day). The intervention lasted 8 weeks, and 16S rRNA sequencing technology was used to study the changes in gut microbiota between different groups. Simultaneously, clinical indicators such as alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and uric acid (UC) were measured to illustrate the metabolic effects of BLa80.
