| Core Tip |
The purified clinoptilolite-tuff (PCT) product, G-PUR®, provided improvement in abdominal symptoms and stool abnormalities in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with predominant diarrhea. Additionally, it reduced the use of rescue medication and tended to enrich gut microbiome diversity compared to placebo, while showing no safety concerns. Hence, the PCT product, G-PUR®, represents a promising novel treatment option for patients with IBS with predominant diarrhea. |
