Possibly Effective For
1) Weight Management
L. gasseri significantly decreased BMI, abdominal visceral fat, waist and hip circumferences, and body fat mass in 210 healthy Japanese adults, with an 8.5% decline in abdominal fat area over twelve weeks. However, the authors warned that constant consumption of this probiotic may be required to maintain this effect [2].
Despite there being no change in behavior or diet, administration of L. gasseri modestly reduced weight and waist and hip circumference in obese and overweight adults [3].
L. gasseri significantly decreased body weight and visceral and subcutaneous fat areas in adults with obese tendencies [4].
L. gasseri reduced body weight and fat tissue mass in mice [5] and rats [6].
L. gasseri prevented weight gain in obese mice [7].
Obesity
L. gasseri prevented abdominal fat accumulation [8] and decreases body weight in adults with obese tendencies [4].
L. gasseri suppressed lipase-mediated fat hydrolysis in humans [8] and mice [9].
L. gasseri prevented the enlargement of fat cells and an increase in abdominal fat volume in rats, mice, and humans [10, 11, 12].
L. gasseri inhibited dietary fat absorption in rats [13].
L. gasseri ameliorated systemic and fat tissue inflammation in obese mice [10], by inhibiting macrophage invasion [7].
Heat-killed L. gasseri stimulated respiratory immune responses of obese host animals to enhance their natural defense against respiratory infection [14].
L. gasseri also significantly reduced leptin concentrations in rats [11, 12, 15].
Insufficient Evidence For
Researchers are currently investigating whether L. gasseri has other health benefits. The potential benefits in this section have produced positive results in at least one clinical trial, but these studies are small, contradictory, or otherwise limited. Talk to your doctor before supplementing with L. gasseri for any reason.
2) Cholesterol
A synbiotic product containing L. gasseri and inulin reduced total blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and triglycerides in hypercholesterolemic men and women [16].
L. gasseri significantly reduced the blood and liver cholesterol in rats [12, 17, 18].
