You are invited to participate in a research study to evaluate how alcohol affects the gut microbiota and whether probiotics can help protect gut health from alcohol-related changes.  This study is a collaboration between Monash University Malaysia and GutLinx. Your participation in this study is voluntary. 

 If you decide to take part in the study, you will be asked to provide: 

1. Stool specimen (2 time points)

2. Diet information

3. Clinical information

4. Lifestyle information

You will receive a stool collection kit and an online link to submit your health, diet and lifestyle information at each time point. 

Information obtained from this study will improve our understanding of how alcohol affects gut health and whether probiotics can mitigate these effects. The insights gained from this study could inform future strategies to maintain or restore gut health in individuals who consume alcohol, ultimately benefiting public health and medical research.

You will be compensated for your participation in this study upon confirmation of specimens submission and completion of questionnaires.
