How Does ShapeLine Work?

In theory it works much in the same way that most probiotic supplements work.

You take the supplement once a day and the healthy strains help replenish your gut with healthy bacteria.

The bacteria within ShapeLine is said to increase the production of bile (the fluid made and released by the liver, which to metabolize fat and stop the absorption of a percentage of fat from the food that you consume.

It would be wrong to call the probiotic a fat burner – more of a fat blocker. It also has the added benefit of lowering the production of bad cholesterol (LDL)
