RCT
One Probiotic Formula Did Not Protect Early Bone Density
In a double-blind trial of 114 women one to eight years after menopause, this lactobacilli formulation did not prevent bone loss over 12 months. The probiotic group had a small but statistically greater decline at the primary tibial bone-density site, so this specific formula is not supported as a stand-alone bone-preservation strategy.
