HARMONY Probiotic Weight Management
dr. kellyann
Overview
HARMONY Probiotic Weight Management integrates a research-backed probiotic strain, Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™, known for its anti-obesity effects, with a blend of essential B vitamins and other beneficial bacteria. While the B vitamins and chicory root inulin support general metabolic health and gut function, the lack of individual CFU disclosure for most probiotic strains in the 'Probiotic Blend' limits the ability to fully assess their specific contributions to weight management beyond Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™.
The Good
Contains Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™, a specific probiotic strain with clinical evidence for reducing visceral fat and waist circumference
Includes a comprehensive profile of essential B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12) that support energy metabolism and overall health
Utilizes bioavailable forms of B vitamins (e.g., Calcium L-Methylfolate, Methylcobalamin) for better absorption and utilization
The Bad
Limited direct research on specific probiotic strains for weight management aside from Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™
Probiotic Blend is partially disclosed, but individual CFU for most strains are not listed, making efficacy assessment difficult for those specific strains
Weight management claims are primarily supported by a single ingredient (Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™) rather than the synergistic effect of the full probiotic blend
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking gut health support, those looking for an aid in weight management, people with digestive issues
