The Claim
Consumption of live-culture mageu for six weeks is associated with higher plant protein intake in postpartum mothers compared to non-consumers, independent of total energy intake.
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.
Postpartum mothers who drink live-culture mageu for six weeks consume more plant-based protein than those who do not, even when their total calorie intake is the same.
See the scientific wording
Live-culture mageu consumption for six weeks is associated with higher plant protein intake in postpartum mothers compared to non-consumers, independent of total energy intake, suggesting that cultural food practices may influence dietary patterns during lactation.
When a mother drinks live-culture mageu, beneficial bacteria enter her gut and change the microbial community. These bacteria produce chemicals that signal the brain and gut to increase the desire for plant-based foods, especially those rich in protein. This leads her to eat more plant proteins without eating more total food.
What the research says
1 studyNew moms who drank the fermented grain drink ate more plant-based protein than those who didn’t, even when they ate the same amount of food overall.
