Probiotics can be found in certain foods and supplements. They can have health benefits such as improving gut health and increasing immune function.
Researchers discovered that different bacteria types play a role in weight regulation. This can lead to weight loss and even belly fat loss.
Members of the Lactobacillus Family have been shown to reduce belly fat, including Lactobacillus amylovorus and Lactobacillus fermentum (61TrustedSource, 62TrustedSource, 64TrustedSource).
Probiotics are not recommended for weight loss. However, further research is required. Probiotics and other supplements are not all regulated by FDA. It is important to consult a doctor before you add them to your daily routine.
SUMMARY
Probiotic supplements can help support a healthy digestive tract. Research also suggests that beneficial gut bacteria could help with weight loss.
