Microbiome Analysis clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Microbiome analysis is the study of tiny microbes in the body and how they affect health. UCSF is testing whether a ketone ester changes gut microbes in healthy adults. Researchers collect stool and other samples before and after consumption to compare microbiome content.

  • Microbiome Changes in Healthy Adults Following Ketone Ester Consumption

    open to eligible people ages 18-40

    The goal of this observational study is to learn if a ketone ester can improve the content of the gut microbiome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does a ketone ester reduce age-related signatures in the gut microbiome? - What changes occur in the gut microbiome after consuming a ketone ester? Participants will: - Take a ketone ester every day for seven (7) days - Collect and ship stool samples within seven (7) days before, during, and within seven (7) days after the study period - Measure their ketone levels with a urine strip every day after having the drink - Answer questions about their typical diet on a normal day - Record their symptoms, if any arise
