Probiotics for Mental Health

Probiome is a blend of cutting-edge psychobiotic strains, clinically proven to support mood, stress, and mental wellbeing. These mood-promoting probiotics act on the microbiome gut-brain axis, improving physical and psychological symptoms of stress, anxiety, and mild depression. Five human clinical studies have proven that when these strains are paired together, they have positive effects on neurotransmitters, maintain healthy cortisol levels, preserve neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, reduce intestinal inflammation and visceral pain due to stress, and prevent neuroinflammation in the limbic system which can be responsible for stress response.

Probiome includes the Cerebiome® psychobiotics, the most documented probiotics to support mood, stress, and mental wellbeing, The Institut Rosell is a pioneer in probiotic manufacturing, which produces the probiotic strains found in Cerebiome® (Bifidobacterium longum subsp. Longum Rosell®-175 and Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell®-52). Five human clinical studies have proven these strains help enhance mood due to their actions on the microbiome-gut-brain axis through supporting a healthy response to everyday stress.

Gut Brain Axis

MENTAL WELLNESS 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,15,16

Stress & Anxiety & Low Mood (mild depression)

  • Reduce feelings of anxiety

  • Improve depression symptoms (BDI and BDNF scores)

  • Reduce symptoms and improve response to everyday stress

  • Positive effect on mood, anxiety, feelings of pleasure, and sleep

Neurotransmitters & Hormones

  • Decrease cortisol (stress hormone)

  • Regulates neurotransmitter (serotonin, tryptophan)

  • Normalize dopamine (pleasure) and norepinephrine (stress)

Brain & Nervous System

  • Support healthy vagus nerve

  • Prevent neuroinflammation of the limbic system (responsible for stress response)

  • Protect normal neuroplasticity (nervous systems adaptive capacity) and neurogenesis

IMMUNITY 12,13,14

  • Fight infections (IgM & IgG antibodies)

  • Decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines

  • Immunomodulatory effects (balance Th1 & TH2)

GUT HEALTH 2,6,7,8,9

    • Reduce stress-related GI discomfort:

      • IBS, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation

      • Promote normal gut microflora and strong intestinal barrier

      • Reduce intestinal inflammation due to stress

Start feeling better within one month

  • Decreases the cycle of everyday stress and general stress by 44% [as measured in Messaoudi 2010]

  • Supports healthy cortisol (stress hormone) levels

  • Modulates the synthesis of neurotransmitters and their precursors (serotonin, tryptophan)

  • Promotes a healthy brain

Help calm an upset gut in stressful times by:

  • Promoting intestinal comfort by 25.9% and decreasing nausea and vomiting by 8% [Diop 2008]

  • Promoting normal gut microflora

  • Protecting the intestinal barrier
