WBC Nutrition Committee: Probiotics<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Dr. Phillip Goglia<\/p>\n

A new study out of the Leiden Institute of Brain and Cognition at Leiden University in the Netherlands suggests that probiotics may actually aid in improving mood. They might be a good way to fight anxiety or depression, or simply make you feel better after a bad day.<\/p>\n

The researchers examined 40 healthy young adults who had no mood disorders. Half of them consumed a powdered probiotic supplement every night for four weeks. The probiotic supplement was called Ecologic Barrier, and contains eight types of bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Lactococcus (these three types of bacteria that have been shown in the past to mitigate anxiety and depression). The other half of the participants took a placebo, although they thought they were taking probiotics.<\/p>\n

The people who took probiotic supplements began to see improvements in their moods; they reported less reactivity to sad moods than those who took placebos. In other words, the people who took probiotic supplements were better able to overcome sad moods than the others, and thus had fewer depressive thoughts following bouts of sadness.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if preliminary, these results provide the first evidence that the intake of probiotics may help reduce negative thoughts associated with sad mood,\u201d said Lorenza S. Colzato, an author of the study, according to Time. \u201cAs such, our findings shed an interesting new light on the potential of probiotics to serve as adjuvant or preventive therapy for depression.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a 2013 study that investigated the link between intestinal bacteria and mental health, not much is known about the ways that the gastrointestinal tract influences mood and behavioral disorders. The authors note that there was scientific interest in this link in the early 20th century, but there hasn\u2019t been much research until recently. One of those recent studies examined this link and found that people who took probiotics experienced lower levels of anxiety and depression, and had lower levels of cortisol \u2014 the stress hormone \u2014 in their saliva when they woke up in the morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
