We explored how the treatment with JB-1—a type of probiotic bacteria—affects anxiety during chronic stress in rats. In our study, half of the twenty rats received JB-1 while the other half got a placebo over eight weeks of stress exposure.
The results were telling! Rats on JB-1 showed less anxiety and were more willing to explore their environment compared to the placebo group, which largely avoided exploration. Additionally, measurements of brain metabolites indicated that JB-1 helped maintain stability in brain chemistry, even in stressful conditions.
This suggests that lactobacillus rhamnosus might play a beneficial role in reducing anxiety during prolonged stress.

We investigated the impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium adolescentis on anxiety levels in rats facing acute hypoxia. In our study, 64 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups for comparison. The results showed that rats receiving probiotics exhibited lower oxidative stress and anxiety levels compared to those who did not. Notably, those treated with probiotics went through behavioral tests indicating increased exploratory behavior and decreased anxiety. Overall, our findings suggest that these probiotics offer both antioxidant and anxiety-reducing effects in stressful conditions.

We examined how colonizing newborn mice with probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), influences anxiety in adulthood. By administering live LGG during pregnancy and early life, we observed significant changes to the gut microbiome and protective effects on the intestinal barrier. Notably, the adult mice with LGG colonization showed reduced anxiety-like behaviors in tests designed to measure stress responses. This indicates that early life probiotics could play an important role in regulating the gut-brain axis and improving mental health in later life.

Mood enhancement

After years of taking plexus probio5 and vitalbiome, I realised I needed a higher dosage. I compared probiotics for similar ingredients and found these at better strengths for less. I've been taking them for months, and they significantly improve my mood and anxiety, making me seem much calmer.

Significant anxiety reduction
17 people found this helpful
I buy these from the Vitamin Shoppe, not Amazon. They helped alleviate my anxiety and panic attacks, which I wanted to avoid treating with prescription medications. After a year’s use, I noticed that my symptoms nearly vanished with just one capsule a day. After running out recently, I have been feeling extremely anxious and realised it was due to stopping this supplement. I won’t go without them again; they truly make a difference for me!

Reduced anxious moments

I highly recommend this probiotic which I discovered during my search after being diagnosed with OCD-related anxiety. In just over two months of use, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my anxious moments, alongside better overall health. I’ve noticed the days I forget to take it, the difference is quite evident.

We investigated how probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium BB-12, can affect anxiety in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. In our study, we found that mice treated with these probiotics exhibited significantly reduced anxiety-like behaviors compared to those exposed to aluminum chloride alone.
Through various behavioral tests, it was evident that this probiotic combination also improved memory functions. Our results suggest that leveraging the gut-brain axis through these probiotics could offer a promising approach for alleviating anxiety and cognitive deficits in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's.

We conducted a study to assess how well the probiotic CECT 7347 (ES1) and the heat-treated version (HT-ES1) helped alleviate diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) symptoms in adults. Over 84 days, participants took either the probiotic, the postbiotic, or a placebo, reporting significant improvement in key measures like symptom severity, quality of life, and even anxiety levels. The results demonstrated a notable reduction in IBS symptoms, making it one of the first trials to show such effectiveness in this area.

Bifidobacterium longum may ease anxiety
We examined the impact of a probiotic blend, Bifidobacterium longum strains 1714® and 35642®, on anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms in patients. Over eight weeks, we observed that the treatment helped restore the stress response and improved IBS symptoms and psychometric scores for anxiety and depression.
Interestingly, the benefits continued after stopping treatment, suggesting a lasting positive effect. The findings indicate that managing stress can significantly influence IBS symptoms and associated mood disturbances.

Bifidobacterium lactis reduces anxiety significantly
We conducted a thorough investigation into the effects of Bifidobacterium lactis, known as Probio-M8, on anxiety and overall well-being in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Over six months, we compared a group receiving the probiotic with a placebo group.
Notably, those in the probiotic group reported significant improvements in anxiety levels and other markers of mental health. This suggests that enhancing gut health can also positively influence our mood and emotional states.
With ongoing research, it’s becoming clearer how beneficial our gut bacteria can be for our overall mental and physical wellness.

Improved mood
37 people found this helpful
The Best for anxiety and gut health! I usually experience anxiety, but I've noticed a shift in my mood and feel more relaxed and balanced. I previously used another brand of probiotics but discovered this one through an influencer on Instagram. I will definitely continue purchasing from this brand. The inclusion of ashwagandha makes it a perfect combination for emotional well-being and gut health! I take 2 pills on an empty stomach each morning and drink plenty of water, starting my day with a smoothie. You can take it with or without food, but I prefer on an empty stomach for better gut absorption. Please like if you found this helpful!

We explored how a novel multi-strain E3 probiotic formula could impact anxiety and other mental health symptoms in a group of 68 individuals with sleep disturbances and mood issues.
Over an 8-week period, participants experienced significant improvements in sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and anxiety levels.
Remarkably, these changes were linked to shifts in their gut microbiome, suggesting that the health of our gut might play a powerful role in our overall mental well-being.

Probiotics reduced anxiety, depression
This double-blind trial explored how synbiotic and probiotic supplements affect mental health and anemia in hemodialysis patients.
With 75 participants, those receiving synbiotics and probiotics showed a notable decrease in anxiety and depression scores after 12 weeks, compared to a placebo group.
However, there was no meaningful improvement in quality of life reported. Interestingly, the treated group also experienced significant increases in hemoglobin levels, which is beneficial.

Probiotics reduced anxiety symptoms
We examined the role of probiotics, particularly lactobacillus acidophilus, in alleviating anxiety symptoms among patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving drug-free participants, we found that those taking probiotics along with sertraline experienced a notable decrease in anxiety compared to those on sertraline alone.
However, the probiotics did not show a significant impact on improving overall quality of life. While there were encouraging results on anxiety scores, the limited effect on quality of life suggests more research is needed to clarify these findings.

Probiotics did not significantly affect anxiety
We looked into how combining caloric restriction with probiotics affects anxiety in adult men facing obesity. In a well-structured, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, participants followed a 12-week regimen of caloric restriction while taking a specific blend of probiotics.
While we found that anxiety and depressive symptoms improved within the group taking probiotics, there was no significant difference when compared to those on a placebo. This suggests that further research is necessary to fully understand the relationship between probiotics and anxiety in this context.
