This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a synbiotic—a supplement designed to support healthy gut bacteria—to see if it can help people with obesity who also experience anxiety or depression. The study will compare the synbiotic alongside personalized nutrition counseling to a placebo (fake) supplement with the same counseling. The researchers believe that improving gut health may help address both weight and mood problems at the same time.
Many people with obesity struggle with depression and anxiety, and strict diets or weight-loss medications don't work well for everyone or can cause side effects. This trial is exploring whether supporting gut bacteria through this treatment might offer a gentler, more effective way to improve both physical and emotional health.

You'll be in the study for 12 weeks. During this time, you'll take either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo supplement daily, and you'll meet with a registered dietitian for personalized nutrition guidance. The research team will monitor your weight, mood, and gut health throughout the study to see whether the supplement helps alongside the dietary support.
