Support GLP-1 production
Understanding the physiological mechanisms of metabolic health and weight management is essential for developing new and targeted approaches for clinical management. Growing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to many aspects of metabolic health.
Specific gut-focused solutions are being identified for managing metabolic health and body weight. For example, bacterial strains such as Clostridium butyricum and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii possess genes that stimulate butyrate production. Additionally, Akkermansia muciniphila, a keystone bacterial strain, secretes a P9 protein that stimulates GLP-1 production.
