Study finds probiotics can reduce weight and BMI, highlighting their role in gut health.

A gut health expert recommends adding probiotics to one's diet to aid in weight loss, highlighting their role in the gut-brain axis. New research indicates that 96% of UK adults see gut health as vital for their quality of life, though 44% doubt they can improve it. A study showed that a mixed probiotic significantly reduced body weight, BMI, and waist circumference.
