Study Of An Investigational Dietary Supplement In People Treated Outside Of The Hospital For Covid-19 Infection

Description

Seeking men and women with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection to investigate the potential benefits of a specially formulated probiotic to treat gastrointestinal symptoms related to COVID-19.

Overview

We are studying the effects of a food product on different types of bacteria that live in the digestive system, also called the gut microbiome, and effects on the health of people with COVID-19. The food product is made up of common sugars found in many other foods such as fruits, table sugar, and milk, and is not able to be digested, like a dietary fiber. The researchers also want to learn more about the safety of taking the dietary supplement and its side effects.

What we're hoping for

Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a dietary supplement on overall health and the potential benefits for those recovering from active COVID-19 infection outside of the hospital.
