The rates of obesity in the country and the world are rising. The last bacterial species in the intestine is considered a metabolic factor that affects body weight.
Probiotic TM B420 helps to secrete the GLP-1 hormone from the intestine.
GLP-1
The GLP-1 hormone acts simultaneously on several organs in the body, including the brain, pancreas, digestive system, and liver. It is a natural protein produced in the L cells of the digestive tract and in the hypothalamus, the center responsible for hunger and satiety sensations.
The protein is secreted in the body only in response to eating, as food is present in the stomach.
It belongs to a group of hormones called incretins. These hormones regulate blood sugar levels and play a significant role in the proper functioning of insulin. Studies have shown that the level of this hormone is low in patients with diabetes.
GLP-1 has been shown to restore blood sugar levels to almost normal and help digestion. It slows gastric emptying and reduces acid secretion in the stomach, helping to better balance sugar values after meals.
It also works in the hypothalamus, the brain's center responsible for hunger and satiety, increasing the sense of satiety and reducing the desire to eat simple carbohydrates (sweet foods).
