Effect of Lactobacillus Fermentum as a Probiotic Agent on Bone Health in Postmenopausal Women

Abstract

Probiotic (L. fermentum SRK414) supplementation was found to maintain OC levels and increase femur neck BMD during a 6-month trial in postmenopausal women. Further studies with a larger number of participants and a longer study period are required to increase the utility of probiotics as an alternative to osteoporosis medication.
