    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of the study is to determine if probiotic bacteria have a beneficial effect on the colon cancer-associated microbiota and epigenetic alterations in colon cancer. Dietary supplementation consists of two ProBion Clinica tablets, yielding a daily dose of 1.4 x 10 ˄ 10 Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 (ATCC SD5219), 7x10 ˄ 9 Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM (ATCC 700396), and 0.63 g inulin.
