Specific Gut Bacterium Roseburia Linked to Stronger Muscles and Better Fitness

Specific gut bacterium Roseburia linked to stronger muscles and better fitness

Scientists from the University of Almería and the University of Granada, together with researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC, Netherlands), have identified an intestinal bacterium of the genus Roseburia associated with stronger muscles and improved physical condition.

Roseburia inulinivorans, a gut bacteria, increases muscle strength: it was positively associated with multiple strength measures including handgrip, leg press and bench press in humans. Study assessed causality in mice where it increased muscle fibre size

Gut Bacteria in Humans Shown to Enhance Muscle Strength

In a groundbreaking collaboration between University of Granada, University of Almería, and Leiden University Medical Center, scientists have unveiled compelling evidence linking a specific gut bacterium from the Roseburia genus to enhanced muscle strength and overall physical fitness. This discovery not only bolsters the emerging scientific concept of an intestine-muscle axis but also opens promising avenues for probiotic interventions aimed at…
