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.
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.
