The Evaluation of TCI378 and TCI507 Probiotics on Weight-lowering Efficacy in Adults

May 27, 2021 updated by: National Taiwan University Hospital

Obesity is a serious global public health issue. Many reports have showed that the use of appropriate probiotics can bring benefits to the health of the host and promote the balance of gut microbiota. Clinical experimental data show that the supplement of probiotics can help regulate gut function and weight control, and etc.

TCI378 (Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378) is a probiotic extracted from Korean kimchi, and TCI507 (Lactobacillus plantarum TCI507) is a probiotic extracted from the oranges peels. These two strains of probiotics have been verified by in vitro experiments to have the effect of hydrolyzing bile salts, inhibition of the production of fat cells. Therefore, we want to evaluate whether the probiotics TCI308 and TCI507 have effects on reduction of body weight.
