synbiotic2

Synbiotic2 is a specific formulation of a synbiotic dietary supplement investigated for its effects on gut microbiota and weight management in obese patients undergoing a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) followed by a low-calorie diet (LCD). It contains *Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis* and prebiotics fiber. The supplement aims to modulate the gut microbiome, leading to an increase in beneficial bacteria such as short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria (e.g., *Odoribacter* and *Lachnospira*) and anti-inflammatory mediators. This modulation is hypothesized to improve weight loss outcomes by ameliorating inflammation.
