Metagenics Ultra Flora MetaControl delivers probiotic innovation, specifically formulated to contain two Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis strains, HN019 and B-420, which are shown to support weight management, fat mass regulation and cardiometabolic health. 

Microbiome research highlights a potential link between body weight and gut microbiome composition, suggesting that specific probiotics may aid in weight management and metabolic health.

Improved Weight and Body Composition: A 6-month study with 225 overweight individuals found that taking 10 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis (B-420™) daily resulted in significant reductions in fat mass, abdominal fat, waist circumference, and calorie consumption. Additionally, participants experienced improvements in lean muscle mass.

Enhanced Glycaemic Control and Gut Health: Pre-clinical research on B-420™ demonstrated reduced weight gain, better glycaemic responses, lower zonulin levels (a marker of intestinal permeability), improved tight junction integrity, and protection against E. coli-induced damage, thereby reducing gut inflammation and enhancing insulin sensitivity.

Positive Cardiometabolic Effects: A 2016 study on adults with metabolic syndrome showed that Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis (HN019™) supplementation reduced BMI, total cholesterol, and LDL levels. This is likely due to improved cholesterol metabolism, increased short-chain fatty acid production, and inhibition of HMG Co-A reductase, alongside reduced proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6.

Incorporating UltraFlora MetaControl with specific strains B-420™ and HN019™ into dietary programs may effectively support weight management, metabolic health, and overall body composition, making them a valuable addition to patient care strategies.
