University of Florida Nutrition Study
Are you interested in participating in a socially distant nutrition
research study?
The UF Food Science and Human Nutrition Department is conducting a study
to assess the effect of a probiotic supplement on gastrointestinal symptoms
during menstruation. This study will last 9 weeks during which you will be
asked to complete short daily and weekly questionnaires about your digestive
health. For 8 weeks, you will be asked to take either a probiotic or placebo
supplement. Participants will receive compensation upon study completion.
Participants have the option to provide stool and vaginal swab samples for
additional compensation.
Potential participants must:
- be a healthy female between 18 and 35 years of age
- regularly menstruate (i.e., ≥12 times/year)
- currently be on an oral contraceptive
- be willing to complete daily and weekly questionnaires for 9 weeks
- be willing to consume a probiotic or placebo supplement for 8 weeks
