of dedication into L. gasseri strain research
The strain
BNR17®, and only BNR17®.
Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17® was isolated from human breast milk in 2006 and, in 2017, became the first probiotic in South Korea individually recognised by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for reducing visceral fat. Patented in 10 countries. 1,400+ scientific citations. Own strain. Own R&D. Own product.
The form
Melt-in-mouth. No water needed.
Most diet probiotics ask you to take a capsule with water in the morning. BNRThin Slim+ asks you to tear open a sachet and tip it in your mouth. Five kilocalories. No sugar added. A faint apple finish from natural flavour. The least demanding ritual we could design. Direct-to-mouth Meltz. Fifteen seconds.
The standard
10 billion live, guaranteed to expiry.
Not “at time of manufacture” — the industry’s quiet way of selling you dead bacteria. Ten billion live BNR17® per sachet, live to the last day. Shelf-stable engineering: no refrigeration needed.
• Shelf-stable · No fridge required
• 10 billion CFU guaranteed to expiry


Melt-in-mouth
Tear, tip, taste. A clean apple finish, gone in fifteen seconds.
Best for: Mornings on the move. People who hate capsules.

Everything you need to know
What exactly is BNRThin Slim+?
A daily diet probiotic sachet from AceBiome, Korea. Each 2g sachet contains 10 billion live CFU of Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17® — the first probiotic in South Korea recognised by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for reducing visceral fat — alongside vitamin D and zinc. One box is fourteen sachets, designed as a two-week trial. Take one sachet daily, melted in the mouth.
How do I take it, and when?
One sachet a day. Tear it open, tip the powder directly into your mouth and let it dissolve (it has a faint clean-apple finish). No water needed. Most users take it in the morning before breakfast; some prefer the evening as a wind-down ritual. There’s no “wrong” time — consistency matters more than timing.
When will I notice a difference?
Two weeks to begin. Twelve weeks to see what the science saw. The human trials ran for 12 weeks: visceral fat was 21.6 cm² lower than placebo, and waist measurements fell from where participants started. One box of 14 sachets tells you whether the routine fits your day; the full course is six boxes. Individual results may vary.
Is it safe to take long-term?
BNR17® has been studied since 2006, including four human clinical trials; the 12-week trial reported no adverse events. It contains no stimulants and no laxatives. It does contain lactose. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised, or on prescription medication, consult your doctor before starting — same as any supplement.
Is BNR® Thin Slim+ Halal?
The Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17® strain is halal-certified. We do not claim halal for the finished product.
