The dietary supplement L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics® is a synergistic probiotic formula combining a high dose of the Lactobacillus gasseri strain CNCM I-5076, with the innovative probiotic blend SlimBiotics®.
This product thus combines the best potential probiotics for losing weight. Numerous studies have investigated the potential effects of certain gut microbiota microorganisms on weight loss and fat elimination (1).
L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics® is part of our product category dedicated to slimming and weight control.
Benefits of Lactobacillus gasseri and SlimBiotics®: powerful probiotics for weight loss ?
The supplement L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics® combines 2 probiotics:
- Lactobacillus gasseri, a species of lactic acid bacteria which supports gut microbiota balance and is the most widely-studied of the potential probiotics for weight loss and fat elimination. Several studies on obese humans have examined the potential action of Lactobacillus gasseri on reducing weight, waist and hip circumference and visceral fat mass, as compared with a placebo (2-3). Based on current observations, Lactobacillus gasseri could act by modifying gut flora composition (thus preventing dysbiosis, an imbalance in the microbiota that causes inflammation, toxin proliferation, etc), by affecting the secretion of leptin (the satiety hormone) and insulin (the hormone that regulates blood sugar), and by activating genes responsible for stimulating the elimination of fats (4). For this supplement, we have specifically selected the highly-regarded Lactobacillus gasseri strain CNCM I-5076;
- SlimBiotics® is a plant-based probiotic blend, an innovative product developed and patented by the Austrian company SlimBiotics. It consists of 3 strains of Lactobacillus fermentum K7-Lb1, K8-Lb1 and K11-Lb3, plant-source bacteria found in kimere, a fermented pearl millet porridge traditionally consumed by the Mbeere community in Kenya (5). SlimBiotics® also supports good gut microbiota balance, and its promising effects on weight, fat mass and metabolic syndrome have been analysed in a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical study, on subjects with excess weight around the abdominal area (6). This innovative compound has actually been tested on more weight control parameters than any other probiotic ingredient.
3 strengths of the ‘slimming’ probiotic L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics®
Our synergistic probiotic formula stands out in 3 key aspects:
- its exceptional combination of Lactobacillus gasseri and SlimBiotics®, which help to make it the most advanced and effective Lactobacillus gasseri formula on the European market;
- its particularly high dose, with 12 billion CFU of Lactobacillus gasseri a day and 6 billion CFU of SlimBiotics® a day, the same dose as that used in clinical trials on SlimBiotics®;
- and its gastro-resistant capsules designed to protect the probiotics from stomach acidity during the digestion process so that they reach the gut at their most viable and effective.
As a reminder: the microbial flora of overweight or obese individuals has been shown, on average, to be less diverse and more abundant in bacteria capable of extracting more calories from food (which further increases weight gain). This underlines the importance for everyone of maintaining or restoring a balanced gut microbiota for effective weight control.
What is in L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics®
Any questions?
Several studies suggest that the lactic acid bacteria species Lactobacillus gasseri is the most effective for helping to reduce abdominal fat and slimming down the tummy (7-9).
It’s generally considered to be the most promising and significant probiotic in this area.
It’s important to remember, however, that for effective weight loss (from the stomach and elsewhere), you need to burn more calories than you consume which means eating a balanced diet and participating in regular exercise or sports activity. Healthy weight loss also requires good quality, restful sleep, effective stress management and adequate hydration.
The probiotic Lactobacillus gasseri is naturally present in certain foods:
- some fermented yogurts ;
- sometimes in kefir (a tart, carbonated drink made from milk fermented with kefir grains) ;
- sometimes in kimchi (a traditional Korean food made from garlic-fermented vegetables) ;
- sometimes in miso (a Japanese paste made from fermented soya beans) ;
- and sometimes in sauerkraut.
However, the presence of this specific species depends on the fermentation process and cultures used.
The supplement L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics® offers the advantage of guaranteeing an increased intake of Lactobacillus gasseri (with at least 12 billion CFU a day), in a simple, safe and effective way.
We recommend taking the probiotic L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics® 30 minutes before a meal, at a dose of 2 capsules a day.
Taking this Lactobacillus gasseri and SlimBiotics® probiotic a short time before eating allows it to work before the food reaches the digestive system, potentially helping to regulate metabolism and the feeling of satiety more effectively.
As well as supplementing with the probiotic L. Gasseri & SlimBiotics®, you may find it beneficial to take a prebiotic supplement. A source of non-digestible dietary fibre, prebiotics nourish ‘good bacteria’ such as Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus fermentum. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are a particularly good option (try the product Fructo-Oligosaccharides).
Some fat-burning formulations are also designed for those looking to get back in shape. They include chilli-based supplements, which support weight loss by increasing thermogenesis, the production of heat in the body (see Metadrine, rich in red chilli peppper). Liquorice supplements are also popular for reducing excess abdominal fat (see Viscerox).
Last but not least, you can proactively reduce your appetite and thus your calorie intake with certain plants such as Garcinia cambogia, known for reducing hunger pangs. Garcinia is combined synergistically with other beneficial compounds in appetite-control supplements (such as Appetite Control Formula).
