<i>Weizmannia coagulans</i> BC179 Alleviates Post-Alcohol Discomfort May via Taurine-Related Metabolism and Antioxidant Regulation: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Excessive alcohol consumption is associated with various health complications, including liver damage and systemic inflammation. Probiotic interventions have emerged as promising strategies to mitigate alcohol-induced harm, yet their mechanisms of action remain incompletely understood. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the protective effects of Weizmannia coagulans BC179 in chronic alcohol consumers. Seventy participants with a history of long-term alcohol intake were randomly assigned to receive either BC179 (3 g/day, 1 × 10¹⁰ CFU) or a placebo for a 30-day intervention period. Following alcohol ingestion, dynamic monitoring of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, and serum metab
