Bifidobacterium is a well-studied genus of beneficial bacteria that naturally inhabits the human gut. There are many species of bifidobacteria, and, like all probiotics, their health benefits are strain-specific. Bifidobacterium breve is a species of bifidobacteria commonly found in the intestines of newborn infants. Morinaga B-3 is a clinically backed, room-temperature-stable strain of Bifidobacterium breve that has been shown to support various aspects of healthy metabolism.*[i]^,[ii]

A recent placebo-controlled human clinical study, which followed subjects for 12 weeks, showed that Morinaga B-3:

• Promotes weight loss after 12 weeks of supplementation compared to baseline*
• Reduces body fat after 12 weeks of supplementation compared to baseline and placebo*
• Supports healthy liver function*

These results were presented at the 67^th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Nutrition and Food Science. They confirm the findings of previous animal research, which show that Morinaga B-3 supports a healthy weight and body fat percentage, and additionally helps maintain blood glucose, insulin and cholesterol levels already within a normal range*
