Rebalancing the gut microbiota using probiotics would be effective in accelerating weight loss in a natural way, according to the results of a study published in the medical journal International Journal of Obesity. The Lactobacillus gasseri strain would be one of the most effective slimming probiotics and could become an effective therapeutic solution without side effects.
Researchers at the Rio de Janeiro Institute of Nutrition in Brazil conducted a meta-analysis on more than 1,500 scientific publications on the slimming effects of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus gasseri. At the end of the first survey, 14 randomized double-blind studies were selected.
Significant effects in prevention
All the conclusions are in agreement and reveal that supplementation with Lactobacillus gasseri allows a weightloss.
Specifically, the researchers observed that this decrease in body mass was associated with a reduction in abdominal fat and waist circumference.
“This bacterial strain appears to be a natural solution, without danger and without side effects, to lose weight, regain a healthy weight and fight overweight”, explains doctor Crovesy of the Institute of Nutrition of Rio de Janeiro.
Thus, this strain could even be consumed as a preventive against weight gain and for the health of theintestine, because its beneficial effects promote the reinforcement of the intestinal barrier and reduces the inflammation of adipose tissue, therefore the occurrence of certain metabolic disorders.
