Lean For Good LeanBiome is doctor formulated, which means that a doctor created the supplement specifically for weight loss and digestion. Although Lean for Good provides limited information about what type of physician created the supplement (such as a physician or naturopathic physician), LeanBiome's physician-formulated status puts it a step above competing diet pills sold online today.
Lean for Good also cites dozens of clinical studies supporting LeanBiome's ingredients. The company cites double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of individual ingredients within LeanBiome. While the formula as a whole has not been researched, the individual ingredients in LeanBiome have been researched for their safety and efficacy.
Green tea is one of the most popular weight loss supplement ingredients in the world, and for good reason. Green tea contains three natural compounds linked to weight loss, including EGCG, caffeine and L-theanine. Together, these three ingredients can help you lose weight, and that's backed up by science. In this review study, researchers analyzed 14 studies on green tea, finding that participants taking green tea lost 0.2 kg to 3.5 kg more than a placebo in 12 weeks. Another study found that the EGCG in green tea specifically helped with weight loss when combined with caffeine.
The main ingredients in LeanBiome, however, are probiotics. LeanBiome contains a blend of multiple probiotic strains. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that thrive in the digestive tract, where they populate the digestive tract and help break down food. A growing number of studies point to the importance of probiotics for weight loss. In this 2018 study published in Nutrients, for example, researchers found evidence to suggest that probiotics could be used to prevent or treat obesity. Other studies have found a specific connection between gut health and weight gain, with obese people tending to have worse gut health than leaner people.
In recent years, we have also seen an increase in the number of prebiotic supplements. Prebiotics are fiber supplements that feed the bacteria in your digestive tract. Your probiotic bacteria need fuel to thrive, and prebiotic supplements provide that fuel. In this 2019 study published in Foods, researchers found that prebiotics such as fructo-oligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides had "beneficial effects on human health." Each serving of LeanBiome contains 200mg of inulin from chicory root and inulin is one of the most popular prebiotic sources available today.
