This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether Lactobacillus plantarum Lp90, a specific type of probiotic (beneficial bacteria), can help women with obesity manage their weight and balance their sex hormones. Researchers want to see if taking this medication daily can reduce belly fat and improve hormone levels. Half of the participants will receive the actual probiotic supplement, and half will receive a placebo (an inactive look-alike).
Obesity affects many women and can disrupt hormone balance, which can create additional health challenges. This trial exists to see whether this medication might offer a natural way to support weight management and hormonal health in women, filling a gap in treatment options.

You will take either the probiotic supplement or a placebo pill by mouth once daily for the duration of the trial. You will have follow-up visits where you'll provide blood samples, urine samples, and stool samples so researchers can measure changes in your metabolism and hormones. The study involves 100 women total, and you'll be randomly assigned to receive either the real supplement or the placebo—neither you nor the researchers will know which one you're taking until the end.
