Healthy gut bacteria capsules show long-term benefits for obese teenagers

Can a capsule of healthy gut bugs change the future of obesity treatment? New findings from the University of Auckland’s Liggins Institute suggest it might. Eight years ago, 87 obese adolescents took part in a groundbreaking study to see whether fecal transfer (taking ‘good’ gut bacteria from healthy donors and giving them in capsule form to people with a less healthy microbiome) would make a difference to their health and weight. Four years later, a follow-up study, published this week in the world-leading scientific journal Nature Communications , suggests some significant health benefits from that single gut bugs transfer. In particular, the original overweight teens who received the transfer had reduced risk for a bunch of metabolic changes which can lead to heart disease, stroke and diabetes, compared with the participants who received the placebo.
