Top picks by evidence
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 animal studies, all reported beneficial effects on glycemia, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. Only 1 study reached statistical significance. Evidence is derived solely from non-human models; no human studies are available.
- Very low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial moderate-sized effects of *Lactobacillus rhamnosus* LRa05 on glycemic outcomes.
