November 15, 2016
A new study published in EBioMedicine found that Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis 420™—alone or in combination with the prebiotic fiber Litesse® Ultra™ Polydextrose—reduced body fat mass, trunk fat mass, waist circumference and energy intake compared to placebo in those participants who adhered to the study protocol over the six-month intervention.
Listen in as dietary fiber, fermentation, and immunity expert Dana McCurdy, PhD, describes how consumption of prebiotic fibers bolsters gut health and supports overall well-being, including cognitive health and mood.
