Description: • For a healthy digestive system and better metabolism of fat • Regulates the hormone leptin • Also known as "the fitness probiotic" 3 Billon CFU Features the clinically studied strain Lactobacillus gasseri UALg-05 (UAS) – a high-quality probiotic known for its potential to support healthy digestion, body composition, and immune balance. Key Benefits: Lactobacillus Gasseri is a lactic acid-producing bacterium, which makes it helpful for supporting healthy GI tract function because lactic acid provides valuable protection for the stomach lining and the mucosa of the intestinal tract. Lactobacillus Gasseri has earned a reputation as “the fitness probiotic” because it helps the body support leptin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and fat storage. Leptin is often called “the satiety hormone” because it helps control the sensations of hunger and fullness, acting as a brake on appetite while boosting metabolism. The body’s leptin levels typically decline during weight loss, slowing metabolism to conserve energy, which is one reason so many dieters struggle to retain their fitness gains over the long term—the infamous “yo-yo effect.” Supports digestive health and promotes GI tract function May support weight management and metabolic metabolism through leptin regulation Contains the scientifically profiled strain Lactobacillus gasseri UALg-05 (UAS), known for its high survivability and emerging research around digestive health, abdominal fat reduction, and gut-immune interactions. Looking for a probiotic that will help you stay in excellent shape? There is one! Gasseri is a unique kind of probiotic whose function distinguishes it from all other strains. Similar to many probiotics, Lactobacillus Gasseri is a lactic acid-producing bacterium, which improves the function and health of the gastrointestinal tract, since lactic acid acts as a kind of natural protection to the gastric mucosa. But the positive properties of this natural microscopic assistant go far beyond the scope of normal digestive support. Many people are already certain of the fact that it is a valuable addition to weight control, which makes it an excellent supplement to any and all exercise programs. Lactobacillus Gasseri is also known as "the fitness probiotic" because it helps the body regulate levels of leptin, a hormone that plays a key role in energy metabolism and accumulation of fat. Leptin is often called the "satiety hormone" because it controls the sensations of hunger and fullness, reduces appetite and simultaneously improves metabolism. The organism’s leptin levels usually decrease when a person is subjected to a weight loss diet, which in turn slows the metabolism of the body as a natural reaction against unnecessary energy loss. This is one reason why many dieters are striving to conserve in the long term the reserves they have accumulated from fitness.
