topicFucoxanthin Metabolic Wellness Randomized Trial
claimIn obesity, an imbalance in gut microbial composition (dysbiosis) is frequently observed, with reduced microbial diversity and a higher ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes phyla in some studies [].

topicFucoxanthin Metabolic Wellness Randomized Trial
claimThis dysbiotic state can promote greater energy harvest from diet and increased intestinal permeability, leading to elevated circulating endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) levels that trigger inflammation in adipose tissue [].
