Effects of a Synbiotic Supplement on Metabolic & Cognitive Outcomes Among Older Adults

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a prebiotic and probiotic supplement on metabolic, cognitive, and muscle health in older adults. Participants in the study will be older adults who will receive a prebiotic and probiotic supplement containing different strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus gasseri. The study will collect data at baseline and after 3 months of supplementation to compare the effects on metabolic, cognitive, and muscle health. Additionally, genetic variants associated with vitamin D deficiency and muscle phenotypes will be identified in this population.
