Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™ is the strain people choose when they want to feel lighter. We call it the Belly Burner, and it is popular with both men and women.
You can have L. gasseri BNR17™ in any of our four A2 yogurts, made fresh to order and delivered across the Klang Valley.
What is L. gasseri BNR17™?
L. gasseri is a lactic acid bacterium that lives naturally in the human gut, mouth and vagina. BNR17™ is a specific strain originally isolated from human breast milk and developed in South Korea.
What the research suggests
- Visceral fat. In a 12-week clinical study in South Korea, adults with obesity who took BNR17™ had reductions in visceral fat (the fat stored around the organs) and waist circumference compared with a placebo.
- Fermented milk. Studies in Japan on a different L. gasseri strain, given in fermented milk, reported similar reductions in abdominal fat.
- Appetite and energy. Many people describe feeling less hungry between meals and having more energy, though this is personal experience rather than a measured result.
These studies used specific strains and set conditions. They explain the interest in L. gasseri, not a promise of weight loss.
Women's health
L. gasseri is one of the main lactobacilli found in a healthy vaginal microbiome, where these bacteria help keep the environment slightly acidic. Some L. gasseri strains have also been studied for menstrual discomfort. That is why many women choose it as part of their routine.
Is it right for you?
BNR17™ is a good fit if weight, appetite or women's health is your main focus. It works best alongside good food and regular movement, not instead of them. Our yogurt is not suitable for children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a weakened immune system or a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
How to order your BNR17™ yogurt
When you choose L. gasseri BNR17™, we ferment it into your yogurt slowly for 36 hours in A2 milk, with nothing else added: no sugar, gums, thickeners or preservatives. Start with a 100g jar to try it, or choose 450g or 900g if you are making it a daily habit.
