Probiotics Affect the Brain-Gut Axis Say Several New Studies

Here at Truth About Probiotics, we have always believed in the vital role probiotics play in our health. Considering that the human body is 90% bacteria and 10% human cells, it’s no wonder these microscopic organisms affect every area of our wellbeing. Now, new research is coming forward to suggest that the gut really is the second brain. A new Johns Hopkins Study that was just released revealed that one-third of your daily caloric intake goes directly to your brain! So, imagine if you are not eating correctly, and your body is not absorbing all the nutrients from those foods??? That’s right, your brain performance, memory, etc will probably suffer as a result. Because probiotics maximize your nutrient absorption during digestion, they can enhance your mental clarity and sharpness!

Another study coming out of Canada has found that probiotics influence the brain-gut axis, especially in the areas of stress management and even weight loss! Other experts came forward to share their belief in probiotics as a solution for troublesome chronic diseases like IBS. More research is coming forward to suggest that probiotics can actually reduce anxiety and other psychological functions of gut imbalance. We hope you now realize as we do that the future of probiotics is bright and amazing, as we learn more about these good gut bugs. Click on the link below to read the full article:
