Q: Can specific Probiotics help with mood, anger, and fatigue?
A: Biome Elevate (by Activated Probiotics) has 4 targeted probiotic strains shown in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials to improve several aspects of psychological well-being by impacting biological effects on the gut-brain axis. One study showed a 49% reduction in depressed mood state scores, a 49% reduction in anger-hostility scores, and a 40% reduction in fatigue scores. After 6 weeks, it showed a 29% reduction in sleep quality scores. This probiotic combination may be helpful for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers wanting to support mood and sleep, or patients wanting to enhance the efficacy of other treatments for mood or sleep.
