Weight Management

Trillions of microorganisms, many of them healthy bacteria known as probiotics, are living inside you right now, exerting profound effects on everything from your immunity, gut, cardiac health, and even weight.* Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria are the most common probiotic bacteria each comprising different strains  and species that exhibit specific effects on your body. You can think of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria as cars and their strains as specific types of cars that are preferred in certain environments.

One of the most studied bacterial strains showing encouraging effects for weight loss is Lactobacillus gasseri. Researchers believe that the weight loss effects attributed to this strain involve releasing appetite-regulating hormones or increasing levels of fat-regulating proteins.* Another plausible cause may be strains of this ilk have a tendency in reducing the absorption of dietary fat.*

Researchers noticed that people with obesity are likely to have less gut bacteria diversity than people who are lean so enriching your gut with a multitude of healthy bacterial strains may be helpful in promoting weight loss.*

Being overweight or obese is dangerous and can increase your risk for chronic inflammation that can predispose us to everything from diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, to heart attack and stroke.

Consider taking a daily green tea supplement in the form of a capsule to get the benefits of tea antioxidants. Getting your tea antioxidants in the form of a daily capsule can help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure levels, and promote weight loss.*
