The first-of-its-kind study in the July issue of Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism examined the effects of daily consumption of multispecies probiotic supplements on fasting glucose, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and oxidative stress in diabetic patients. The randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial used a multispecies probiotic supplement consisting of 7 viable and freeze-dried strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. rhamnosus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium breve, B. longum, Streptococcus thermophilus, and 100 mg fructo-oligosaccharide. The multispecies probiotic supplementation, compared with placebo, prevented a rise in fasting glucose, resulted in a decrease in serum hs-CRP, and an increase in plasma total glutathione.
Steve: Simply, this probiotic combo not only balanced blood sugar, but reduced inflammation and increased detoxification. That's a nice triumvirate!

Please let me know which pro-biotic was used
in the study and is to available to us over the
counter and where. Thanks
They actually cherry picked strains from different manufacturers, so this was not a commercial product. There are numerous formulas that contain many, if not all these strains.
