Impact of a Probiotic-Fiber Blend on Body Weight, Metabolic Regulation, and Digestive Function in Obese Adults: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multicentric Trial
The findings provide robust evidence that the probiotic-fiber blend effectively improves anthropometric and biochemical markers in obesity. These results underscore the therapeutic potential of gut microbiome modulation in metabolic health. Further research should explore long-term effects, mechanistic pathways, and broader clinical applications.
