ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a probiotic called BC179 to see if it can help reduce the amount of alcohol absorbed by the body and lower health risks related to drinking. Researchers will measure how well this probiotic works by asking participants about their hangover experiences after drinking alcohol. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but when it starts, it will be open to men and women aged 18 to 75 who have a history of heavy drinking—defined as consuming at least 40 grams of alcohol per day for over a year.

To participate, individuals will need to have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 25 and must agree to follow the study rules. They should not have certain health conditions, like liver disease or severe allergies, and cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study. Participants will take the probiotic and provide feedback on their experiences, helping researchers understand its effects. This study aims to find a safer way to manage alcohol consumption and its effects on health.
