As interest grows around how gut health might impact mental health, researchers have discovered that probiotics could be the next breakthrough supplement to fight negative emotions.
A small new study published in the journal npj Mental Health Research found that daily probiotic supplements were associated with significantly reduced anxiety, stress, and fatigue in healthy adults. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design in 88 healthy volunteers reported their mood daily, and saw improved mood after two weeks of taking probiotics.
