Effects of Synbiotic Supplementation on Bone and Metabolic Health in Caucasian Postmenopausal Women: Rationale and Design of the OsteoPreP Trial
The trial will inform on the efficacy and safety of a synbiotic containing both aerobic and anerobic bacterial strains and a prebiotic fiber on reduction in bone loss and on indices of blood glucose regulation. This trial may pave the way for an exciting field of translational research and be the underpinnings of the prevention strategy of osteoporosis and the management of metabolic dysfunction in postmenopausal women. The trial is registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05348694).
