Dear Dr. {{ $doctorName }},

Subject: To participate in the PACE Study on Probiotics for Weight & Diabetes Management

The gut microbiome plays a fundamental role in human health, extending beyond digestion to influence immune function, metabolism, and even neurological processes. Emerging research highlights its significant impact on metabolic disorders, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, making it a promising area of therapeutic intervention.

Scientific advancements have reinforced the gut-metabolic axis, demonstrating that an imbalanced microbiome contributes to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation. This has led to growing interest in probiotics as potential adjunctive therapies for weight management and glycemic control leading to an influx of various probiotic brands in the market for multiple indications beyond gut health.

Despite the increasing use of probiotic brands, their application in metabolic disorders is relatively new. Healthcare professionals may face challenges in selecting the appropriate probiotic strains, determining optimal dosing, and understanding their precise mechanisms of action. The lack of standardized guidelines has resulted in varied prescribing practices, highlighting the need for greater clarity on their clinical benefits.

To address these gaps, we are conducting the PACE Study (Prescribing Attitudes and Commercial Evaluation of Line Extensions of VSL#3 for Weight & Diabetes Management). This research aims to evaluate prescribing patterns, perceptions, and clinical considerations regarding probiotics in metabolic health.

Your insights will help refine best practices for the effective use of probiotics in newer indications beyond gut dysbiosis and understand the usage and market potential for probiotics beyond gut disorders.

We highly value your expertise and invite you to participate in this important study. Your input will contribute to advancing the clinical understanding of probiotics and their role in managing metabolic disorders.

If you agree to participate, you will need to provide assessment response, on to the standard questionnaire form. A link will be provided for the same on your registered email address.

Thank you for your time and valuable contribution. We greatly appreciate your support in shaping the future of probiotic therapy in metabolic health. In that spirit, we hope you will consent to participate in this survey.
