NCT01479543

Brief Summary

The present report describes the design of a clinical trial performed on healthy adult individuals to check whether the daily intake of the new Hero strains contribute to intestinal colonization, under safe and tolerable conditions, with a positive contribution to health and wellbeing of healthy individuals. Daily intake of one or several probiotic strains, (CNCM I-4034, CNCM I-4035, CNCM I-4036), increases intestinal microbiota in healthy adults, being safe and well tolerated. The regular intake has positive effects on the gastrointestinal and immune system.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Gastrointestinal Tolerance After Probiotic Consumption.

    Tolerance of these probiotic strains was determined using the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS), daily recorded gastrointestinal symptoms and defecation frequency.Intolerance was defined as a symptom score of 2 or higher on the GSRS. The unit of measure is the "number of participants" was tolerant to the intervention.

    4 weeks of the treatments. Daily recorded.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Gastrointestinal and Immune Effects of Probiotics Consumption.

    At Time zero, after 4 weeks, and 2 later.
