Study Ingredients   

Veillonella atypica:  A natural gut bacterium first identified by Harvard researchers in the gut microbiomes of elite endurance athletes.  Uses lactic acid and turns it into short-chain fatty acids, which can support healthy energy metabolism.

Cranberry concentrate: rich in natural plant compounds, such as polyphenols.

Why This Study Matters

Our study is designed to deliver the objective, large-scale health outcome data public health needs. By including diverse participants and virtual, cutting-edge research methods, we hope to advance scientific understanding on natural health products for all populations.
