Probiotic supplementation improves quality of life and modulates oestradiol in women with endometriosis: a randomised double-blind pilot trial
Daily oral intake of <i>L. salivarius</i> CECT 30632 was associated with changes in circulating oestradiol levels and improvements in the quality of life in women with endometriosis. These preliminary findings support further powered trials to confirm efficacy and clarify underlying mechanisms.
