Overview

Pediococcus acidilactici TCI188 is a proprietary probiotic strain developed by TCI Co., Ltd. (Triple Climax Inc.), a leading Taiwanese manufacturer of functional foods and dietary supplements. This specific strain of lactic acid bacteria was isolated and characterized for its potential metabolic benefits, particularly in the context of weight management and body fat reduction. TCI188 is thought to exert its effects by modulating the gut microbiome, which in turn influences host lipid metabolism and inhibits adipogenesis. Preclinical and clinical evaluations sponsored by the developer have suggested that the strain can help reduce body weight, body fat percentage, and waist circumference. As a live biotherapeutic ingredient, it is utilized in various consumer health products, including probiotic powders, capsules, and functional beverages, aimed at individuals seeking metabolic health support.
