This pilot study is looking at how a probiotic called L. acidophilus (strain TW01), which comes from fermented coffee, might affect your gut health, body shape, and inflammation. We're testing if taking capsules with this probiotic, along with a fiber source (Fibersol-2), can make a positive difference. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 60 years old, are overweight or obese (BMI between 28 and 40), and are otherwise healthy. The main goal is to see if this probiotic changes the amount of a substance called fecal butyrate in your stool. The study status is currently unclear, and it plans to enroll 12 participants.
