Lactobacillus aids chronic fatigue treatment
Role of Lactobacillus acidophilus loaded floating beads in chronic fatigue syndrome: behavioral and biochemical evidences.
High relevance for potential therapies
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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus shows limited effect
Effect of supplement with lactic-acid producing bacteria on fatigue and physical activity in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Study suggests continued probiotic research
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.

Stabilised condition
For five years, I’ve taken this daily, and it has greatly stabilised my chronic fatigue syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome. I now have regular bowel movements after breakfast and don’t feel the need to go throughout the day, and I've been healthier, not catching colds for years. This product suits me best among others I've tried.

Improved digestion
I had a great experience with this product; it caused no side effects and greatly helped my chronic fatigue syndrome. My digestive issues and fatigue improved significantly. I no longer feel overly full after just a couple of bites, and any bloating has subsided quickly.

Reduced fatigue
Since I began drinking this, my chronic fatigue syndrome has improved, and my constipation has vanished. I'm surprised at the positive changes after my daily routine felt stagnant. Although somewhat pricey, its value exceeds that of other lactic acid supplements in Japan. I intend to continue this for another two months to see further effects on my skin.
