A specific gut microbe could help with long-term weight-loss goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New research published in the journal Nature Medicine tested whether a pasteurized (not live) gut bacterium, called Akkermansia muciniphila MucT, could help people keep weight off after losing it.<\/p>\n

The study enrolled 90 overweight and obese adults<\/a> from the Netherlands in an eight-week, low-energy diet where they were instructed to lose 8% of their body weight, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

The participants then started a 24-week weight-maintenance phase and were randomly assigned to take either the gut bacterium or a placebo.<\/p>\n

People taking Akkermansia regained less weight than those taking the placebo, at an average of 2.6 pounds versus 7.1 pounds \u2014 a statistically significant difference, according to the study results<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The researchers noted that the efficacy of the treatment depends on a person\u2019s existing gut microbiome<\/a>. There were no serious adverse events reported.<\/p>\n

The study\u2019s short duration and small sample size may not be enough to prove long-term benefits, the team noted. Another limitation is that participants ate whatever they wanted instead of following a standardized diet.<\/p>\n

Dr. Peter Balazs, MD, a hormone and weight loss<\/a> specialist practicing in New York and New Jersey, called this a “well-designed” trial.<\/p>\n

“The finding that a single gut microbe, pasteurized Akkermansia, significantly reduced weight regain<\/a> is particularly compelling,” the expert, who was not involved in the research, told Fox News Digital. “Most probiotics have demonstrated far less efficacy, making these results especially noteworthy.”<\/p>\n

Balazs pointed out that pasteurized Akkermansia isn\u2019t a live probiotic, but works through “components of the bacteria<\/a>, particularly a protein called Amuc_1100.”<\/p>\n

“This protein helps strengthen the gut barrier, reduce low-grade inflammation and support healthy metabolic function<\/a>,” he said. “After weight loss, the body naturally tries to regain fat, but Akkermansia appears to help quiet some of those biological signals, making it easier to maintain results over time.”<\/p>\n

While the study results are promising, the doctor cautioned that Akkermansia is not a miracle pill.<\/p>\n

“It helps with maintenance, not initial loss,” he said. “Long-term use is plausible; however, it hasn’t been proven beyond 24 weeks. This does not replace diet, exercise or medical advice<\/a>.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
