This study looks at the effect of a probiotic on those with constipation or low bowel movement frequency (less than 3 bowel movements per week). Previous research into the probiotic being used in this study has shown that it improved symptoms of constipation but currently, there is no research for a US population.
Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to either receive the probiotic product or a placebo, which is a non-active version of the product.
Criteria:Participants must attend 3 visits to our Downtown Chicago clinic over 10-11 weeks and consume the product or placebo daily for 8 weeks.
As part of the study, you will be required to have blood, urine & still samples taken at different times during the study.
Adults aged 18-65.
Experience symptoms of constipation.
