Nutrients Improve Health In
Obesity
Prebiotics
I
n an earlier study by these doctors, the
prebiotic oligofructose reduced the desire
for food, increased satiety, and promoted safe
weight loss in obese participants.
In this follow-up study, 37 obese people
from the earlier trial took a placebo or 7
grams of oligofructose three times per day.
After 12 weeks, levels of an inflammatory
bacterial toxin linked to gut imbalance and
obesity were 40 percent lower in the
oligofructose group while increasing 48
percent for placebo. Doctors also saw levels
of a blood clotting factor decrease nearly
twice as much in the oligofructose group
compared to placebo.
Doctors believe this is the first study to
show that prebiotics may enhance circulation,
and may help rebalance the gut microbiome
to reduce chances for obesity and its
complications.
(Reference: Obesity Research Journal; 2017,
Vol. 25, No. 3, 510-13)
Omega-3s
C
hronic low-grade inflammation usually
accompanies obesity, increasing chances
for health complications. In this study, 59
women with obesity were on a calorie-
controlled diet while taking a placebo or
1,800 mg of EPA with DHA per day.
After three months, while the placebo
group had not changed, women in the
omega-3 group had significantly higher
circulating levels of EPA and DHA, far fewer
signs of low-grade inflammation, and lower
fasting levels of triglycerides and insulin.
Omega-3 fatty acids appear to combat
chronic low-grade inflammation by
combining with cellular enzymes to reduce
pro-inflammatory proteins. Doctors said the
findings suggest a role for EPA and DHA in
managing obesity, maintaining a healthy
metabolism, and reducing chances of health
conditions related to inflammation.

Lipids; 2016, Vol. 1861, No. 11, 1746-55)
Synbiotics and Regularity
T
he rate at which waste moves through the
digestive tract is dictated by the rate of
muscular contractions in the large intestine.
When these contractions are slow-a condition
called slow transit-waste can accumulate,
causing constipation.
To investigate treatment for this condition,
this study looked at 100 people with slow
transit time. They took a prebiotic and a
probiotic, together called “synbiotics,” twice
daily, or a placebo.
You may be familiar with the term
probiotic, knowing that it refers to “friendly
bacterial,” such as lactobacillus acidophilus.
But what is a “prebiotic?” A prebiotic is a
food substance, that in itself is nondigestible
(like dietary fiber) that promotes the growth
of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines.
Thus, a prebiotic enhances the activity and
effectiveness of the probbiotic. Many
products on the market, now, combine the
two–probitics and prebiotics–and the
combination is called a synbiotic. I assume
the name derives from the “synergy” resulting
from the combination.
Did it work? The synbiotic group had begun
to improve by week four. After 12 weeks,
45.8 percent of those taking synbiotics had
normalized transit times compared to 16.7
percent for placebo, and 64.6 percent of
those in the synbiotic group showed clinical
improvement compared to 29.2 percent for
placebo, including increased stool frequency
and consistency, decreased transit time, and
fewer constipation symptoms.
(Reference: Nutrients; 2016, Vol. 8, No. 10,
605)

supplement that fits your individualized needs.
