Brief Summary

Objective : Nutrition intervention is one of the approaches to deal with obesity. Natural honey with its polyphenol component has an impact on the intestinal microbiota and lipid profile. Intestinal microbiota such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria produce exopolysaccharide which plays important roles against obesity. This research aims to assess the effect of Trigona biroi honey on body mass index, lipid profile, and microbiota profile Design A Quasi-experimental study involving two arms (trigona honey) and control will be conducted. The outcome of interests are body mass index, lipid profile, and microbiota profile Hypothesis using superiority trial, trigona honey will

  1. 1.improve microbiota (increase lactobacillus and bifidobacteria and reduce clostridium)
  2. 2.Improving lipid profile
  3. 3.lowering body mass index

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Level of intestinal microbiota in stool

    the level of bifidobacteria, clostridium, and lactobacillus (in colony factor unit/grams) in stool measured using polymerase chain reaction

    Changes of microbiota level from day 0 to day 60 after intervention

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Body Mass Index

    Changes of body mass index from day 0 to day 60 after intervention

  • Lipid Profile

    Changes of lipid profile from day 0 to day 60 after intervention
