A Report from the CTV Television Network about a Canadian Research Study reported that the intake of a probiotic supplement every day has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety in study participants who suffer from C.F.S. This information came out of a Toronto university research team headed by A. Venket Rao, based on a 60 day study which demonstrated a measurable reduction in the subject's symptoms of anxiety.
First as a starter, for those who are not normally concerned with natural health supplements, what is a probiotic? At its most basic it is a natural dietary product that contains live bacteria - such as Lactobacillus or Bifidobacteria. R-Gardens L. Salivarius is one such product that supports the beneficial bacteria that live in each person. This digestive bacteria , supports our immune system and crowds out bad bacteria.
But what the U of T. researchers were most delighted to find was that, this 2 month run of daily probiotics supplementation also achieved improved results in affecting disorders like depression & anxiety. Unlike medicines, which can bring about a host of side effects, probiotics are a safe and easy way to manage these issues. They have published their report in the journal BioMed Central.
Their research was conducted on subjects with C.F.S. which exhibits other signs such as persistent fatigue and for about half of the group - sleep difficulties, depression and anxiety.
Likely what led them to look at probiotics originally was that subjects with CFS are also often affected with digestive disorders often connected with the lowered presence of healthy bacteria in the body. Natural health users have taken probiotics for this purpose for a long time. Because the desirable bacteria present in the probiotic supplements can help the body push out the unhealthy bacteria in the system and this bad bacteria has already been connected to an increase in depression and other mood problems, the researchers think that bacteria levels may influence our behavior.
The group given probiotics every day showed greater levels of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria which correlated with a significant drop in anxiety behaviors in the group. They also demonstrated digestive improvements such as a drop in inflammation, bloating and gas.
"The findings are huge," said study co-author Alison C. Bested, who went on to say that the research patients felt calmer and were better able to handle their illness, slept better and exhibited fewer symptoms of anxiety.
