Our Lactobacillus Gasseri probiotic supplement is a science-backed probiotic strain in delayed-release capsules designed to help support digestive balance and metabolic wellness.* It might also help with slimming and weight control.*
What is Lactobacillus Gasseri?
This lactic acid bacteria is naturally found in the human microbiome and is commonly present in breast milk.* More recently, it appears to have been studied for its potential to support body composition and metabolic balance, in the field of weight management.*
Probiotics are live microorganisms that may help support digestive health and overall balance in the body when consumed in appropriate amounts.* Within this broad family, the Lactobacillus genus seems especially well-researched.* These naturally occurring bacteria are known to colonize areas like the digestive and vaginal tracts and might have been studied for their role in maintaining microbial diversity and promoting gut comfort.*
Hence, L. gasseri may be recognized for:*
- Supporting intestinal balance and digestive comfort.*
- Helping maintain microbial diversity in the gut.*
- Contributing to healthy immune function.*
Lactobacillus gasseri is designed as a convenient daily probiotic that may support digestive comfort and metabolic balance as part of a healthy lifestyle.* At SuperSmart, it is available in gastro-resistant capsules delivering 12 billion CFU per serving to help protect the probiotics from stomach acid and promote optimal delivery to the gut.*
For broader microbiome support, you can also find other targeted formulas such as the patented Bacillus Subtilis, studied for its potential immune-supportive role, and Lactobacillus Reuteri, explored for its possible digestive benefits.*
Lactobacillus Gasseri and Research*
Clinical and preclinical studies seem to have explored the potential of Lactobacillus gasseri to help support:*
- Reductions in abdominal fat mass and body weight, as seen in a 12-week, double-blind study on 210 participants.*
- A potential average decrease of 8.5% in BMI, waist and hip circumference, as well as abdominal fat mass in the group supplementing with L. gasseri, compared to which seems like no significant change in the control group.*
However, researchers also noted that consistent use might be necessary for the effects to last over time.*
Some research conducted on mice over 10 weeks, in combination with a high-sucrose diet also appears to suggest that Lactobacillus gasseri may support:*
- A potential reduction in body weight and fat mass in mice receiving L. gasseri compared to the other groups.*
- Lower blood glucose levels in the same group, suggesting a possible role in supporting metabolic balance.*
Lactobacillus Gasseri and Body Composition Balance*
As enhanced by different studies, Lactobacillus gasseri may:*
- Influence gut microbiota composition: a 2006 study published in the journal “Nature” suggested that microbial populations in the gut might vary depending on the individual’s body composition.* When weight loss occurs, the gut microbiota may shift toward a profile similar to that of individuals with a normal BMI.*
- Influence gut microbiota composition: a 2006 study published in the journal “Nature” suggested that microbial populations in the gut might vary depending on the individual’s body composition.* When weight loss occurs, the gut microbiota may shift toward a profile similar to that of individuals with a normal BMI.*
- Impact glucose transporters: in a study, L. gasseri was possibly shown to increase the expression of the GLUT4 gene, a potential key glucose transporter in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.* This change may also have been associated with a decrease in glycemic biomarkers, which seem often observed in metabolic health research.*
These findings may therefore indicate that:*
- The potential weight management support of L. gasseri could be related to its influence on leptin activity.*
- Its possible role in metabolic balance may be linked to increased GLUT4 expression and changes in glycemic markers observed in research.*
