Weight Reduction:
Lactobacillus gasseri BRN17 has been clinically proven to help reduce visceral fat and waist circumference. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, supplementation with BRN17 significantly decreased body weight and waist circumference in obese adults compared to the placebo group, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing obesity-related metrics [1]. 

Fat Accumulation Control:
Animal studies further support the anti-obesity effects of BRN17. Research in high-sucrose diet-induced obese mice showed that supplementation with BRN17 suppressed body weight gain and reduced fat mass, suggesting that this strain may influence energy metabolism and fat storage [2]. 

Gut Microbiota Modulation: 
The weight management effects of Lactobacillus gasseri BRN17 are thought to be partly due to its ability to modulate the gut microbiota. By altering the composition of the gut microbiome, BRN17 may enhance metabolic processes that favor weight loss, making it a powerful tool for those looking to manage their weight [3]. 

Appetite Regulation: 
Lactobacillus gasseri BRN17 may also play a role in regulating appetite by promoting a balanced gut microbiome that influences hormones involved in appetite control. This can lead to reduced food intake and improved satiety, supporting effective weight management [4].
