The Claim
The antiobesity effects of probiotics may be mediated through remodeling of energy metabolism, alteration of gene expression related to thermogenesis, glucose and lipid metabolism, and modulation of gut microbiota composition, including increased abundance of Bacteroidetes and decreased abundance of Firmicutes.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Probiotics might help with weight loss by changing how your body burns energy, turning certain genes on or off, and shifting the balance of gut bacteria—like boosting good bacteria (Bacteroidetes) and reducing others (Firmicutes).
