Researchers discovered: This bacterium may be a natural alternative to Ozempic

Gut Bacteria (Bacteroides vulgatus) Metabolites Boost GLP-1 in Mice, Offering Insight Into Microbiome-Based Alternatives to Ozempic - Gilmore Health News

Key Takeaways Metabolites from the gut bacterium Bacteroides vulgatus were found to boost GLP-1 secretion in mice, mimicking effects seen with drugs like Ozempic. The study suggests a link between gut bacteria, sugar cravings, and blood sugar regulation through hormonal pathways. While promising, the findings are early-stage and based on animal research; human applications will require more clinical evidence. Scientists have shed light on a pote…

Gut bacteria may help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for sweets, similar to popular diabetes drugs
