"The scientists conducting the study detected the presence of a certain microbe, Roseburia inulinivorans, in the bodies of humans who had done well on various tests of strength, including bench presses and leg presses."
"Over time, the scientists found that the mice with this microbe achieved an increased grip strength. Their findings also revealed that muscle configurations changed somewhat during this process, moving from a focus on endurance to one on greater overall strength."
"According to what Leiden University scientist Borja Martinez-Tellez - the lead author of the paper - told Live Science, 'This is not going to be a substitute for exercise training. It's more of a complement.'"
Research has identified the gut microbe Roseburia inulinivorans in humans with strong muscle performance. When introduced to mice, this microbe increased their grip strength and altered muscle configurations towards greater strength. Scientists aim to replicate these results in humans and are developing a supplement containing this bacteria. The lead researcher emphasized that this approach is intended to complement, not replace, exercise training.
