The effect of supplementation with synbiotics on measures of gut health and inflammation.

The primary outcomes measured were serum zonulin levels (a measure of intestinal permeability) and microbiota diversity as measured by Bifidobacteria relative abundance and cell count and Lactobacilli cell count.

The secondary outcomes measured were 3 short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs; e.g., propionate), 3 inflammatory markers (e.g., C-reactive protein), and microbiota diversity as measured by the Shannon Index.
