Psychobiotics : alternative approach for controlling mental health and mood
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Psychobiotics refer to gut microbes producing neurotransmitters between microbiota-gut-brain axis to central nervous system (CNS) which plays a key role in positive effects on mood, and anxiety and cognition. Change in gut symbiosis reflects the brain and mental health. Consumption of psychobiotics through probiotic supplements or foods (e.g. Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli) results in change in neurotransmitters in the brain. Psychobiotics potentially improve mental health; therefore, supplementing with a probiotic may be worth considering as one part of a comprehensive mental health treatment plan for depression, stress reduction, anxiety reduction and good sleep. The efficiency of signaling on mental health from psychobiotics is strain-dependent whether single strain or mixed strain is used. Also, these results depend on personal response, which differ in the link between their gut microbiome and health.
