While the concept for this type of supplement is ground-breaking, the company says that a recently completed randomised control trial (RCT) provides scientific evidence of its effectiveness. Zoe’s team of scientists presented the study findings at the Nutrition Society Congress, earlier in July. The study involved 349 healthy male and female volunteers. The full scientific paper that the presentation was based on has just been made public.The RCT was run over the course of six weeks and split the volunteers into three groups. The first group consumed two daily 15g doses of Zoe 30+, the second two 14g doses of croutons and the third two doses of L. rhaferrous fumarate and folic acid tablet uses in tamilmnosus probiotic. The crouton was chosen as the control because it matched Daily 30+ for calorific content while being relatively low on nutrition, and the L. rhamnosus strain of probiotic was picked because it has been extensively studied and has been proven to enhance gut health. “Most studies only use one control, but we decided to use two. The second control was a ‘positive’ control – a probiotic supplement,” Alice Creedon, Ph.D., the study’s lead author. “We chose L. rhamnosus because it’s ‘the most researched probiotic bacteria and has shown benefits for health in RCTs, so we know it works.”The study results found that individuals taking Daily 30+ had an average increase of 5 points in their gut microbiome score over the six-week period. The group taking the supplement also reported a greater sense of fullness throughout the day, together with an increase in both their energy and mood.
