About this trial
The goal of this intervention study is to evaluate the beneficial effect of the probiotic bacterium Bacillus coagulans in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is if the probiotic strains are modifying the microbiota composition in a beneficial way, evaluated in faecal- and saliva samples.
Primary hypothesis: The probiotic bacteria will modify the microbiota composition in faecal- and saliva samples.
Participants will consume the freeze-dried probiotic bacteria for 14 days. Before and after consumption, the participants will collect samples.
