A new study done by researchers at UCLA revealed that the microbes in probiotics have shown mind-altering effects in helping individuals with anxiety and depression. Here is an article about the study.
Is there anything that probiotics cannot do? The list for probiotics’ benefits gets longer and longer. Why should this surprise us when we are composed of trillions of these little guys?
Dr. Michael Gershon coined the term, ‘the second brain’ in 1996 and published a book with the same name. He says, “95 percent of the body's serotonin is housed in the gut, where it acts as a neurotransmitter and a signaling mechanism.” You can find more information about his research in the new field of neurogastroenterology at:
People often take prescription selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s) for depression. The drug’s purpose is to increase levels of serotonin in the body. Since 95% of the serotonin in our bodies is found in the gut, it’s not a stretch to understand why improving the health of the gut with beneficial bacteria will also help our mood and anxiety. In a healthy gut 80% of the lining is made of beneficial bacteria. The value of taking daily probiotics is underscored for not only intestinal health and immune health but also for happiness health. Now that’s something we can cheer about!
Please visit my site about Quintestinal Probiotics. One of it’s five strains of active microbes includes ProDURA™ Bacillus Coagulans. ProDURA™ is a spore forming bacterium with a protective coating that stays dormant until it meets the perfect conditions of heat, pH, and moisture found in the large intestine. Unlike many cultures, it can survive extreme processing, shipping, storage as well as the natural challenges of the digestive tract.
