Researched Probiotic Strains to Restore a Healthy Stress Response.
Description
- Supports a healthy stress response and gut-brain axis function.
- Supports mood and emotional wellbeing.
UltraFlora NeuroSupport contains researched probiotic strains to restore a healthy stress response.
The ‘gut-brain axis’ is a two-way communication system between our gut and brain, involving endocrinological, immunological, and neuronal signals. A key component is the vagus nerve pathway, which responds to microbiota metabolites and transmits impulses to the central nervous system.
Targeting this pathway and maintaining a healthy gut microbiota with specific probiotics can restore a healthy microbiota-gut-brain axis and modulate stress response. Lactobacillus paracasei (Lpc-37™) and Lactobacillus plantarum 299v can modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response to stress, providing a protective effect on the HPA axis in stressed individuals.
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showed that 299v influences the gut-brain axis via short chain fatty acid production, preventing a cortisol rise during acute stress.(1) A separate trial demonstrated that 299v significantly reduces levels of kynurenines, which are believed to negatively impact mood. (2) Additionally, in a 2020 trial, Lpc-37™ was found to support the gut-brain axis by modulating heart rate, reducing stress and exhaustion, normalising cortisol levels in low-stress individuals, and improving perceived health and sleep recovery in high-stress individuals.
