![[Lactobacillus Complex Benefits] 3 Benefits of Fat Bacteria](http://esther-mall.com/cdn/shop/articles/23.jpg?v=1733990692&width=480)
Hello. I'm a pharmacist Jinny.
If you've tried dieting several times and failed every time, it's time to pay attention to your gut flora. This is because, according to research, the intestinal flora has been shown to influence obesity.
In 2020, a study was published in the prestigious journal Microorganisms on the relationship between obesity and gut bacteria. We have found that the intestines of obese people have a high proportion of permicutes and conversely, a low proportion of Bacteroidetes bacteria [1]. For this reason, permicutes bacteria are sometimes called fat bacteria.
The ingredients we will introduce today, Lactobacillus curvatus HY7601 and Lactobacillus plantarum KY1032 complex (hereinafter referred to as Lactobacillus complex), have been confirmed in human application tests to have an effect on intestinal flora, such as the reduction of permicutes, as well as weight loss and anti-obesity benefits. In addition, it is also a functional ingredient for reducing body fat that was recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as the first diet double lactic acid bacteria in Korea.
So, let's take a look at the benefits of Lactobacillus complex in a paper right away.
There are more than 100 trillion microorganisms in the human gut. Among them, permicutes, also called fat bacteria, make up a particularly large proportion in the intestines of obese people.
In a 2022 study, the Lactobacillus complex group for 12 weeks experienced a significant reduction in the proportion of permicutes compared to the placebo group. Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that Lactobacillus complex may have anti-obesity effects by modulating intestinal flora [2].
"In addition, in the case of firmicutes and proteobacteria, there was a significant decrease in relative abundance after the intervention."
For many people, one of the main purposes of dieting is to lose weight. However, simply losing weight doesn't mean you've succeeded in dieting. It's because of body fat.
Because muscle weighs more than fat, you can lose weight even if you lose muscle and gain fat. When you lose weight in this way, you will look plumpier and the effects of your diet will not last long.
A clinical trial study involving 120 overweight subjects between the ages of 20 and 65 reported a reduction in body weight, body fat percentage, and fat mass following the supplementation of Lactobacillus complex [3].
"After 12 weeks of probiotic treatment, there was a reduction in body weight, body fat percentage, and fat mass."
When you fast or starve for a long period of time, adipose tissue produces and secretes a hormone called adiponectin. Adiponectin is a hormone that works to prevent fat from being made and increase fat use.
In 2022, a study showed that the consumption of Lactobacillus complex increased adiponectin [4].
"Compared to the placebo group, the probiotic group showed a reduction in body weight, visceral fat mass, and waist circumference, as well as an increase in adiponectin."
Today, we learned about Korea's first functional lactic acid bacteria for reducing body fat, Lactobacillus Complex Probiotics. As it is a lactic acid bacteria ingredient that has been confirmed to have anti-obesity-related benefits in human application tests, it seems to be especially suitable for those who have been suffering from diet for a long time and those who want to take care of intestinal health and diet together.
I hope you have a healthy day in body and mind. It was Jinny.
