Did you know that probiotics can be incredibly beneficial for simptoms other than digestive issues?
Each specific probiotic strain has a specific effect in our body. The probiotic strain L. Planetarium P8 has been studied for its astonishing effects in bettering depression symptoms in patients with depression. In a study published in 2021, researchers found that administration of this strand resulted in reduced stress and anxiety symptoms in these patients and it also reduced plasma cortisol levels. This specific probiotic strain also helped improve several cognitive functions and memory in the individuals of the study (Minayo et al., 2021).
This is why, when you are looking for a specific probiotic to take, not all probiotics are equal. You should always consult your health care practitioner to see which probiotic is right for you.
