“…In a similar study using cheese supplemented with Lactobacillus plantarum TENSIA, obese hypertension patients showed significantly greater reductions to BMI compared to the placebo cheese group after 3 weeks of treatment, despite the fact that both groups were placed on identical calorie-restricted diets [154]. Finally, obese subjects consuming probiotic-enriched yoghurt (prepared with S. thermophiles and L. bulgaricus as starter culture, B. lactis Bb-12 and inulin) had significantly reduced waist circumference and body fat percentage compared to those consuming plain yogurt, as well as lower triglyceride level and increased insulin sensitivity [155]. Similar work by Jones et al demonstrated the efficacity of BSH-active L. reuteri NCIMB 30242supplemented yoghurt for lowering LDL and total cholesterol in hypercholesterolaemic subjects, while increasing absorption of the fat soluble vitamin 25-hydroxyvitamin D [156,157].…”

Obesity has become a global epidemic and a public health crisis in the Western World, experiencing a threefold increase in prevalence since 1975. High-caloric diets and sedentary lifestyles have been identified as significant contributors to this widespread issue, although the role of genetic, social, and environmental factors in obesity’s pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. In recent years, much attention has been drawn to the contribution of the gut microbiota in the development of obesity. Indeed, research has shown that in contrast to their healthier counterparts the microbiomes of obese individuals are structurally and functionally distinct, strongly suggesting microbiome as a potential target for obesity therapeutics. In particular, pre and probiotics have emerged as effective and integrative means of modulating the microbiome, in order to reverse the microbial dysbiosis associated with an obese phenotype. The following review brings forth animal and human research supporting the myriad of mechanisms by which the microbiome affects obesity, as well as the strengths and limitations of probiotic or prebiotic supplementation for the prevention and treatment of obesity. Finally, we set forth a roadmap for the comprehensive development of functional food solutions in combatting obesity, to capitalize on the potential of pre/probiotic therapies in optimizing host health.

“…These products known as probiotic supplements have been extensively studied over recent years, indicative benefits have been reported such as their ability to neutralise toxins (Corbo et al ., ); good sensory characteristics when microencapsulated (Mokhtari et al ., ) and superior survival and transition through the gut (Campaniello et al ., ). They have also been developed with a range of fortification approaches to further improve health benefits, such as the addition of linoleic acid (Abd El‐Salam et al ., ); green tea fortified with soy (Moumita et al ., ); supplemented with Vitamin D as an aid to weight loss (Mohammadi‐Sartang et al ., ); added to fruit juices (Ephrem et al ., ) and as an adjuvant or a prophylactic therapy in cancer treatment (Serna‐Thome et al ., ; Wardill et al ., ).…”

Consumption of functional foods suggests a strategy to reduce the incidence of chronic health disorders. This message has resonated with consumers and driven market growth. Functional food research has significantly increased over the last decade but few studies have addressed the bioavailability of active ingredients for clinical efficacy. Baked goods such as bread, biscuits and cake are popular categories for innovation due to their widespread consumption. These new developments have often impacted on organoleptic properties of the finished products and thus consumer acceptance. Blending of bioactive ingredients may overcome this deficit. However, an understanding of the role of the microbiome in health has indicated that the efficacy of functional foods is unlikely to be uniform within the population. Further growth in the functional foods market, is likely to require greater evidence of the bioavailability of active ingredients, clinical effect and support for health claims by regulators especially in the EU.

“…There were no significant differences in weight loss depending on the yogurt consumed. However, the beneficial effect of enriched yogurt on insulin response, HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol and triglyceride serum levels and body composition was demonstrated [26]. These studies suggest that, despite the absence of a significant difference in weight reduction, the use of a dairy product with probiotic strains has a positive effect on metabolic parameters, such as lipid profile and insulin sensitivity [25,26].…”

“…Increased insulin sensitivity and beneficial lipid profile parameters were observed in women using yogurt containing probiotics [25]. Research conducted by Mohammadi-Sartang et al compared the effect of the intake of yogurt enriched in protein, vitamin D, calcium, prebiotics and probiotic strains (S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus and B. lactis Bb-12 in the amout of 10 7 CFU/g) with consumption of plain low-fat yogurt (containing only S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus) on the effectiveness of weight reduction in patients with metabolic syndrome [26]. There were no significant differences in weight loss depending on the yogurt consumed.…”

Introduction. Probiotics are live microorganisms which, administered in appropriate amounts, have a beneficial effect on human health. Food products that contain these microorganisms are known as natural probiotics. Probiotic food include the group of dairy products in which fermented milk products are majority. Objective. The aim of the study is to review current data and summarize knowledge on the effects of consumption of dairy probiotics on human health. The review also aims at discussing the potential of these health-supporting microorganisms as a prevention factor against civilization diseases. State of knowledge. Consumption of probiotic food, especially natural dairy probiotic food, may have a positive effect on health due to the presence of probiotic bacteria or by the presence of their metabolites (postbiotics) demonstrating bioactive effects. The intake of these products is associated with the improvement of parameters such as lipid profile, insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular risk parameters, or presents protective effect on bones. Studies show a correlation between the consumption of natural probiotics and reduction in duration of diarrhea or alleviation of the course of inflammatory bowel diseases. Conclusion. The influence of natural dairy probiotics consumption on the state of health has recently been broadly investigated. Regular consumption of these products has shown beneficial effect on gut microbiota and on a wide range of health parameters. However, further studies are necessary to draw a precise conclusion.
