Fructan Prebiotic Supplementation and Gut Microbiota Response in Healthy Adults: A Placebo-Controlled Study

This study investigates the impact of combined short- and long-chain fructan supplementation(specifically 1-kestose and inulin) on the gut microbiota of healthy adult participants, in comparison to a placebo. Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we examined changes in fecal microbial composition.
