Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study analyzes changes in gut microbiota after consuming various plant-based beverages over a two-week period. Participants will provide stool samples before and after the beverage period to compare microbiota composition. The goal is to see if plant-based drinks can positively influence gut health in adults without gastrointestinal or immune-mediated diseases. No medications or antibiotic use during the study period are permitted, and only adults 18–65 who can complete digital forms are eligible. Lund University leads the study with no listed collaborators and is conducted at its Lund, Sweden campus.
