The strain L. rhamnosus HA-114 revealed to improve mood-related eating behaviors in overweight adults who were undergoing diet-induced weight loss in a new breakthrough study. L. rhamnosus HA-114 supports weight management efforts by restoring the balance of eating behaviors through the brain-gut axis. The supplementation with L. rhamnosus HA-114 could favor wellness and facilitate adherence during a diet-based weight reduction program. The probiotic improved self-control behaviors which could lead to a better long-term adherence to dietary recommendations.
152 overweight otherwise healthy adults starting a diet program for 12 weeks, with personalized energy-restricted dietary intervention (-500kcal/day) and take 10 billion CFU/day of L. rhamnosus HA-114 or placebo.
︎ All participants lost an average body weight of 3.96kg and waist circumference decreased by 3.27cm;
