Official Title: The Effects of HOST-DM059 Prebiotic Supplementation on Gut Bacterial Composition, Key Bacterial Metabolites, and Markers of Systemic Inflammation in Adults With and Without Hyperpnoea-Induced Bronchoc

Brief Summary: The current study aims to explore the role of prebiotic supplementation in adults with and without Asthma/Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (A/EIB). All participants will be asked to consume a prebiotic supplement, and a placebo, each for a total duration of four weeks, separated by a four-week wash out period. The investigators hypothesise that improvements in pulmonary function observed following prebiotic supplementation will be attributed to gut microbiota mediated improvements in host immune function.
