A single probiotic strain for a better metabolic health
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PROVEGE™
For too long, people have equated weight with health. But it’s not so simple. Metabolic health goes beyond just maintaining an ideal weight. Glucose, insulin, cholesterol, fatty acids, inflammation, and many other factors contribute. We also talk about Metabolic Syndrome which is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing our risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. If we develop two or three of these conditions, our risk of complications, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, rises higher.
Scientific evidence indicates a strong link between gut microbiota and metabolic health, and since gut microbiota is involved, probiotics may play a role.
The solution for a healthier life.
THE GUT-GLYCEMIA CONNEXION
Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity as well. A change in the composition of the gut microbiota may result in increased susceptibility to prediabetic conditions such as insulin resistance. Reports have revealed that the intestinal microbiome of individuals with type-2 diabetes has reduced butyrate-producing bacteria, a lower frequency of Firmicutes, and a higher frequency of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria .
