The RAMP Study - Rejuvenation of the Aging Microbiota With Prebiotics

The objective of this study is to define the impact of a prebiotic supplement on microbiome, immune system, and metabolic status in older adults. This study will determine the degree to which a prebiotic supplement can 1) regulate immune status and function including reducing chronic, systemic inflammation as assessed by high dimensional immune profiling, 2) alter microbiota composition and function, 3) impact the microbiota metabolites-potential normalizers of metabolic and immune dysfunction, and 4) alter metabolic markers.
