Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Studies in-vitro and in animals propose that vitamins and minerals can alter the human gut microbiome. Human trials replicating these findings are scarce or used micronutrient supplementation in supraphysiological doses. We explored the effect of multivitamin/multimineral (MVMM) supplementation on the gut microbiome, and how participant's background diet can modify this effect.
