Do probiotics really help with weight loss and reducing belly fat?

Probiotics might help manage weight by improving the gut microbiome and metabolism in several ways, including: Helping stabilize insulin levels (a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, enables cells to absorb glucose, and leads to the storage of excess sugar and fat which can contribute to weight gain)

Preventing fat accumulation

Helping reduce inflammation and insulin resistance (when cells do not respond to insulin to absorb glucose, leading to higher blood sugar levels)

Aiding in the breakdown of fiber and regulation of amino acid production in the nervous and digestive systems

Affecting appetite (a balanced microbiome might influence a series of events in the digestive tract that could lead to feelings of fullness or appetite suppression)
