Conclusion

Bifidobacterium animalis lactis probiotic offers a complementary strategy for obesity management.

Preclinical data

XXX - Bifidobacterium animalis lactis BB-12 vs Bifidobacterium animalis lactis BB-12 + Fructooligosaccharides /FOS) vs Fructooligosaccharides /FOS) & Adiposity / obesity

This preclinical study revealed that the influence of prebiotic consumption on body composition and gut microbiota was more significant compared to the probiotic BB-12. Nonetheless, the enhancement in glucose AUC observed with both prebiotics and probiotics highlights the positive impact of each of these "biotic" agents on glycemic control (1).…
