Changes in Hormonal Profile and Body Mass Index in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome After Probiotic Intake
Overview of the Study
This study explored how probiotics affect hormone levels and body weight in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It was conducted over 12 weeks with a group of women taking probiotics and a control group receiving a placebo.
Study Details
- Participants: 50 women with PCOS were involved, averaging 28 years old.
- Method: Participants were randomly assigned to either a probiotic group or a placebo group.
- Probiotic Used: SanProbi® Barrier capsules, containing nine strains of beneficial bacteria.
Key Findings
The study found significant changes in hormone levels and body mass index (BMI) among those taking probiotics. Notable improvements were observed in:
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)

- SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
- BMI
Conclusion
Probiotic supplementation can be a helpful treatment for women with PCOS, particularly those who are overweight. It may help balance hormones and reduce BMI.
