The incidence of several immune-related diseases, including obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diabetes, and asthma, are rising in the US and other developed countries.Researchers and clinicians have hypothesized that metabolic diseases are linked to the gut microbiome.In this double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, we use a probiotic supplement that was specifically formulated to contain strains previously correlated with improved features of metabolic syndrome to test its ability to improve these parameters (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03201068).
