29 Oct 2019 --- A Probi-endorsed study has found that a combination of three of its Lactobacillus strains can help fight bone loss in postmenopausal women. This group is especially at risk of developing osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency, meaning that research in this field is crucial. Half of the sample size of 249 postmenopausal women were given a daily dose of the probiotic cocktail for a year. This group experienced a significant reduction in bone density loss in comparison to the placebo cohort. This marks one of the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of probiotic treatment on bone, although the scientists note that further research is warranted.
