Open-Label Clinical Trial Evaluating the Impact of a Multi-Strain Commensal Probiotic Dietary Supplement on Gastrointestinal Microbiota Composition, Functional Gastrointestinal Markers, and Gastrointestinal Symptoms

July 21, 2026 updated by: OvationLab
A single-arm, open-label prospective study will be conducted evaluating the impact of 8 weeks of supplementation at the manufacturer-recommended dose of Complete Commensal Probiotic™ on the GI-MAP stool test panel (Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory, Alpharetta, GA), gastrointestinal symptoms, digestion-associated quality of life. and overall physical health, mental health, and anxiety.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Complete Commensal Probiotic
Complete Commensal Probiotic™ contains five established commensal strains selected for their documented physiologic roles in the healthy adult gut. The five commensal strains in the product in this study are Akkermansia muciniphila (TA09), Bifidobacterium adolescentis (TA38), Bifidobacterium longum (TA24), Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (TA35), and Roseburia intestinalis (TA08).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative Abundance of Commensal Microorganisms
Time Frame: Baseline and end of 8-week intervention
Counts of microbes per gram of each organism on GI-MAP test
Baseline and end of 8-week intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional and Microbial Markers of Intestinal Health
Time Frame: Baseline and end of 8-week intervention
Functional and microbial markers of intestinal health on the GI-MAP will be categorized as low, medium, and high
Baseline and end of 8-week intervention
Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and end of 8-week intervention
Validated questionnaire assessing gastrointestinal symptoms. Total scores across all domains range from 15-105. Higher scores indicate worse gastrointestinal symptoms.
Baseline and end of 8-week intervention
Digestion-Associated Quality of Life Questionnaire
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and end of 8-week study.
Validated questionnaire assessing the impact of digestion on quality of life. Total scores across all domains range from 0 to 81. Higher scores indicate worse digestion-associated quality of life.
Assessed at baseline and end of 8-week study.
PROMIS - Global Health
Time Frame: Baseline and end of 8-week study.
Validated questionnaire assessing global physical and mental health. T scores range from 16.2 to 67.7 for physical health and from 21.2 to 67.6 for mental health. Higher scores indicate better physical and mental health.
Baseline and end of 8-week study.
PROMIS - Anxiety Short Form 8a
Time Frame: Assessed at baseline and end of 8-week study.
Validated questionnaire assessing feelings of anxiety. T scores range from 37.1 to 83.1. Higher scores indicate greater feelings of anxiety.
Assessed at baseline and end of 8-week study.
