Effects of synbiotic supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight or obese calcium oxalate stone formers: a randomized controlled trial.

Targeted microbiome-based supplementation improves multiple heart disease risk factors in overweight patients with kidney stones, expanding intervention research directions.

Synbiotic supplementation improves multiple cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight/obese stone formers in a rigorous double-blind RCT. The dual targeting of microbiome-metabolic axis in a specific high-risk subgroup has potential for broader metabolic intervention research.
