The probiotic supplementation will use lactic acid bacteria in the "ProbioMax DF™" supplement from Xymogen, Inc. This preparation consists of a four-strain probiotic with 100 billion CFU per vegetable capsule. The strains included are Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, Lactobacillus planarum Lp-115, and Bifidobacterium longum B1-05.
The placebo supplementation is identical-looking to the capsule of the probiotic supplementation.
