Women's Digestive Health Research Study
Researchers at the University of California, Davis are partnering with postmenopausal women to evaluate how daily yogurt intake affects gut health and inflammation. Join our compensated study today!
Fast Facts
Postmenopausal Women (45-75 years old)
BMI 25-30
No prescription medications

Conducted in Davis, CA
Study Background
We want to know how a daily dose of yogurt sweetened with honey affects digestive health in middle to older aged women. In this 12-week study, we’ll look at markers of inflammation, oxidative stress (a state where the body has too many free radicals and not enough antioxidants), and gut health.
If you have gone through menopause and are overweight for your height (a BMI of 25-30), you may qualify to participate. Help advance gut health research today and join our compensated study!
