The investigators aim to analyze the differences in the intestinal microbiome compared to placebo intake through fecal collection and NGS (Next Generation Sequencing).\n\nExperimental product: Kefir lactic acid bacteria-derived whey postbiotics (oral intake of 6g per day (3g twice per day))\n\nControl product: Flavor 2.7%, Calcium carbonate 13.8%, Lactose 41.3%, Maltodextrin 10.3%, Sugar 31.23%, Carboxy methyl cellulose 0.67% (oral intake of 6g per day (3g twice per day))\n\nNumber of subjects: In this human application test, in order to calculate the number of study subjects, the investigators referred to previous studies and calculated the lean mass gain (kg) of 3.3 ± 1.5 kg (mean ± SD) after consuming whey postbiotics derived from kefir lactic acid bacteria for 12 weeks.
