What was studied?
The effect of the green powder supplement AG1 (formerly known as Athletic Greens) on markers of gut health. Additionally, the study assessed the supplement’s safety and tolerability.
The outcomes assessed included the microbiome composition, self-reported digestive health (assessed using the self-reported Digestion-Associated Quality of Life Questionnaire; DQLQ), and stool consistency and stool frequency. Safety was assessed using a complete blood panel, and tolerability was based on reports of digestive distress during the trial.
What was studied?
The health effects of eating honey with yogurt.
