Brief Summary

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

Patients with mild cognitive impairment aged 50-80 years old were recruited in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, and divided into intervention group and placebo group. They were given yeast β-glucan capsules and starch capsules, respectively, for 6 months, in order to explore whether yeast β-glucan can improve cognitive function of patients with mild cognitive impairment by regulating gut microbiota and its metabolites.
