Aging often disrupts the gut microbiome, but does a daily probiotic help? In a 24-week study of 98 healthy adults aged 75+, researchers tested HOWARU® Restore (a multi-strain probiotic with 10^10 CFU) against a placebo. Participants reported less flatulence and GI discomfort in the probiotic group. Gut bacteria stayed remarkably stable core species from families like Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae dominated, with no big shifts in diversity, composition, or metabolites. Bottom line: This probiotic tames senior tummy troubles without major gut changes. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02207140)
