We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus, both free and in floating beads, as a possible treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome in a rat model. The study involved inducing fatigue through a forced swim test and then administering the probiotics over the last week of the experiment.
Remarkably, we found that both forms of Lactobacillus led to significant reductions in fatigue-like behaviors and improved biomarkers associated with stress. This indicates that lactobacilli may serve as a beneficial option for alleviating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.

We aimed to understand if Lactobacillus acidophilus and other probiotics could help alleviate fatigue in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients. In our study with 15 participants, we first looked at their baseline fatigue prior to a four-week probiotic treatment.
While we observed some neurocognitive improvements, fatigue and physical activity levels showed no significant changes overall. Interestingly, six patients reported feeling better by the end. Our findings invite further exploration of probiotics as potential support for individuals dealing with CFS.

5 billion of the best strains of bacteria I’ve tried. I recommend this product for those suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. After starting, my health improved, no more constipation or bloating, and my digestion is better. I appreciate that the capsules don’t require refrigeration and are gluten-free and vegan. The inclusion of the strain Saccharomyces Boulardii is significant, as it’s highly regarded for colonic issues.

After struggling with symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, I took this probiotic for three weeks. Initially, I experienced some side effects like headaches and nausea, but these subsided by week two. Now, I feel much better, my skin has cleared, and my digestive issues have significantly decreased.

I'm satisfied with this product, much better than ordinary lactic acid bacteria. It's effective for chronic fatigue syndrome, although results may vary. Give it a couple of weeks before switching to alternatives.

Reliable probiotic
Having suffered from chronic constipation for years, I can say this is the best lactic acid bacteria product I’ve tried. After several bottles, I found it effective initially, though recently the results have diminished.
