Probiotics Study Shows Weight Loss Potential

Daily probiotic supplements of Lactobacillus may help weight loss in obese people, says new science from Japan.

A recent study carried out by researchers in Japan found that participants who consumed fermented milk containing the Lactobacillus strain of probiotic for 12 weeks, had a 4.6% reduction in abdominal fat and a 3.3 per cent reduction in subcutaneous fat.
The results also showed that the test subjects body weight and waist size decreased by 1.4% and 1.8% respectively.

The study, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, supports previous findings from Kyushu University researchers, which showed that this Lactobacillus strain may reduce adiposity and fat cells in animals. This is giving strength to the notion that probiotics are not only beneficial to promote a healthy intestinal tract, but can also help to lose weight, have skin benefits plus many other applications.

The founder and CEO of Biotivia, a world leading bioceutical firm, said: “The results from these studies are very encouraging and highlight the research that we have been collaborating on for the last few years into the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics. We knew that probiotics helped to stave off the effects of illness and helped with weight loss, but we have been looking at ways of introducing prebiotics and probiotics into a formula where they don’t neutralize each other and can give real weight loss benefits. We have finally achieved this with Florativia, the worlds first ever probiotic and prebiotic combination.  This new and much more effective way of delivering probiotics is called synbiotics and marks a dramatic improvement in replenishment of friendly gut bacteria and the numerous health benefits this brings.”

A strong immune system can help to maintain heath and reduce fat levels. Several strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, available in dietary supplements, have been shown to encourage metabolic syndrome in obese people.

The CEO continues: “With our new synbiotic formula we have created a truly effective health supplement that can help control weight gain and improve the digestive system, creating a healthier inner you.”
