Our gut and brain are interconnected via a two-way communication system known as the 'gut-brain axis'. This includes endocrinological, immunological, and neuronal signals between gut microbes and the brain. A major part of this intricate system is the vagus nerve pathway, which responds to microbiota metabolites via afferent neurons and carries nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Targeting vagal nerve responsiveness and a healthy gut microbiota with specific probiotic strains can restore a healthy microbiota-gut-brain axis and modulate the stress response.
Supports a healthy 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 acts via short chain fatty acid production to influence the gut-brain axis to prevent a rise in cortisol during times of acute stress in individuals.
Mood support. Probiotics can illicit positive changes in neurotransmitters such as tryptophan, serotonin, kynurenine, and dopamine via the gut-brain axis. 299v significantly reduces levels of kynurenines, which are believed to negatively impact mood.
