Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how Pereskia aculeata Mill (orapronobis) flour affects probiotic bacteria adhesion in the gut and its impact on health markers in overweight men, finding that it improved gastrointestinal symptoms and satiety without affecting probiotic adhesion to intestinal cells.
  • The research involved microbiological tests, in vitro assessments, and a clinical trial, showing that orapronobis flour helped maintain healthy gut bacteria and improved intestinal health, along with positive effects on body weight, body fat, blood sugar, and lipid levels.
  • This is the first clinical trial to explore Pereskia aculeata’s benefits on bacterial adherence and health in overweight men, highlighting its potential as a functional food ingredient to promote gastrointestinal health and encouraging industry interest in developing healthy products with this plant.]
