Mood-bosting probiotics
Specific probiotic strains can improve stress-related parameters in mothers after delivery.
A recent study has revealed the beneficial effects of two probiotic strains, Limosilactobacillus reuteri PBS072 and Bifidobacterium breve BB077, on mood in new mothers. The study, conducted in Italy, found that these two specific probiotic strains can help to reduce stress and anxiety, as well as improve overall mood, self-confidence, and breastfeeding in women during the first trimester post-partum.
The study, recently published in the international journal Nutrients, described a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial in a cohort of 200 healthy new mothers. Participants were given either the two probiotic strains plus multivitamins or a control (multivitamin complex only) for 90 days with an intermediate check after 45 days.
