Research studies found probiotics to influence your appetite and energy levels through acetate, propionate, and butyrate production.acids. (1,2)

These findings show that probiotics inhibit the absorption of dietary fat, increasing the amount of fat excreted with feces.

Specific probiotics were found to reap fewer calories from the foods you ingest. Probiotics may also fight obesity in the following manner...

Release appetite-regulating hormones:

Probiotics may help release the appetite-reducing hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY). The potential is that lessening the levels of these hormones can potentially help you burn calories and fat.

These probiotics heighten the levels of fat-regulating proteins. These probiotics can potentially increase levels of the protein angiopoietin-like 4. They may lead to decreased fat storage. (3)

Research has linked obesity to inflammation throughout the body. By optimizing the health of your gut lining, probiotics can potentially reduce systemic inflammation and combat obesity and other diseases. (4)

Research increasingly works to understand the mechanisms of probiotics in the body.
