Micronutrient supplementation influences the composition and function of the gut microbiome in healthy adults

Rationale: There is evidence suggesting that micronutrients can significantly influence the human gut microbiome1.

We studied the effect of multivitamin/multimineral (MVMM) supplementation on gut microbiome and function and how habitual diet can modify these effects.
