About this trial

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using probiotics to protect the liver function of long-term alcohol consumers

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18kg/m² and 25kg/m²;

Voluntarily signed a written informed consent form, agreeing to participate in this study;

Agreed to comply with the study protocol and restrictions;

Disqualifiers

Individuals who have recently consumed substances with similar functions to the tested product, potentially affecting the study results;

Patients with severe allergies or immune deficiencies;

Pregnant, breastfeeding, or women with plans for pregnancy;
