Your weight and your body composition are two different systems.

You can sit at a normal number on the scale and still carry visceral fat — the metabolically active fat packed around your internal organs, which standard bathroom scales and even the mirror routinely miss.

Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17 is a probiotic strain

originally isolated from human breast milk. Researchers have proposed that it influences how the body handles fat storage through the gut — and unlike most probiotics, which are studied for digestion in general, BNR17 has been examined in randomised controlled trials looking specifically at visceral fat area and waist circumference in overweight adults.

The findings are best described as modest and strain-specific:

results have varied across studies and individuals, and the strongest signal appeared at the higher of the two doses tested. That dose — 10 billion CFU per day — is exactly what each sachet of BNRThin Slim+ delivers. Not a number chosen to look impressive on a label. The amount that was actually put to the test.
