Preclinical data

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