A recent twelve week study in Japan and published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found fermented milk product containing the lactobacillus strain was associated with a 4.6 per cent reduction in abdominal fat, and a 3.3 per cent reduction in subcutaneous fat, and body weight dropped by 1.4 per cent and waist size decreased by 1.8 per cent.
A great source of lactobacillus is the Isotonix Digestive Enzymes with Probiotics. This formula includes 150,000,000 CFU of Lactobacillus sporogenes, which is a lactic acid bacillus preparation manufactured and distributed by the SABINSA CORPORATION.
The foundations of probiotic (meaning "in favor of life") microbiotherapy lie in the postulate of Metchnikoff, a Russian physician, that the growth of toxin-producing putrefactive organisms in the gastrointestinal tract could be controlled by the implantation of beneficial lactobacilli in the gut. The clinical application of preparations containing lactobacilli was initiated on the basis of Metchnikoff’s Theory of Longevity, which associates with prolonged youthfulness and a healthy old age with the continuous ingestion of lactobacilli.
