Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy of a postbiotic supplement on weight management and metabolic health. This study will be conducted as a hybrid trial consisting of both in-person visits and virtual assessments. Two groups will be included: the intervention (SlimBiotics postbiotic) and placebo.

The SlimBiotics postbiotic formula is the first plant-based postbiotic targeting weight management and metabolic health. Other competing postbiotics are isolated from humans (feces) but the strains in SlimBiotics were isolated from a fermented plant (millet porridge cereal)

This product contains L. fermentum K8 Postbiotic.
