Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
During Random Allocation, patients are divided into two groups of placebo and placebo with permutation block method with volume 4 blocks. In the permutation block procedure with blocks of volume 4, six blocks are formed, each block containing an equal number of intervention or placebo subjects. These groups include the blocks "ABAB", "BABA", "AABB", "BBAA '," ABBA "and" "BAAB". The blocks are then randomly arranged and numbered with the help of a statistics consultant. Then, participants receive the intervention or placebo according to this arrangement, and this cycle is repeated until the end of the sampling.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial, in which the participants and the investigator do not know which supplement is placebo and which is synbiotic.
