The Claim
In 19 adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk, daily supplementation with 5g of TOTUM-63 for 8 weeks resulted in a statistically significant increase in gut microbiota α-diversity (p=0.003).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In a group of 19 adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk, taking 5 grams of TOTUM-63 daily for 8 weeks was associated with a measurable increase in the variety of gut bacteria.
See the scientific wording
In 19 adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk, 8 weeks of daily 5g TOTUM-63 supplementation was followed by a statistically significant increase in gut microbiota α-diversity (p=0.003), suggesting a potential association between this supplement and enhanced microbial richness in the gut.
Plant compounds in the supplement reach the gut and feed beneficial bacteria, causing them to multiply and become more diverse. These bacteria produce chemicals that strengthen the gut lining, reduce inflammation in the body, and trigger hormones that improve how the body handles sugar.
What the research says
1 studyIn a small study, 19 people with prediabetes and extra weight took a plant-based supplement every day for 8 weeks, and their gut bacteria became more diverse—meaning more kinds of good bacteria were present. This matches what the claim says.
