Microbiome Trial Summary

This trial studies the effects of two mouthwashes on bacteria and 3 viruses in the mouth and gut. Participants will make 5 visits over 180 days, spending 2.5 hours in total. Fecal matter will be collected in some.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy individuals aged 18-25 with either good gum health or gums that bleed when brushing. Participants must have at least 20 teeth, not be on antibiotics in the last 3 months, and agree to attend all study visits and procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how Listerine mouthwash and Lumineux Oral Essentials affect oral and gut bacteria plus three types of viruses. Participants will use one of these rinses or water twice daily for about six months, with five check-in visits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include changes in taste sensation, dryness or irritation inside the mouth, allergic reactions to ingredients in the mouthwashes, or an imbalance in oral/gut microbiome.
