Introduction
B. lactis B420™ has been documented in more than 60 scientific studies, including 16 clinical trials. It has been demonstrated in clinical trials to survive intestinal passage, and in vitro studies have shown excellent adhesion to human colonic mucus.1-3 The primary health attributes of B420™ are weight management and metabolic health, which may be related to its ability to support intestinal barrier integrity.4-6 In addition, Akkermansia muciniphila, a bacterial species linked to lean healthy body weight, was increased in abundance in the intestine upon B420™ supplementation.7 B420™ has demonstrated promise in both human clinical trials and animal studies in supporting weight management and inducing a better metabolic state.8-10
