- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 animal studies, all reported beneficial effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus or related Lactobacillaceae on glycemia, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. One study reported a statistically significant improvement. The evidence is limited to preclinical models (mice), and no human data are available. No consistent dose or duration data were reported.
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial moderate-sized effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus LRa05 on glycemia. One randomized controlled trial (n=80 adults with T2DM) found statistically significant reductions in glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose. The evidence base is small and preliminary, with limited dose and duration data.
