A novel clinical study published in Beneficial Microbes has found that daily supplementation with Verb Biotics' LP815, a GABA-producing probiotic strain, can quell anxiety in adults with mild to moderate symptoms.1
This follows the results of a consumer survey conducted by the company, which found that 85% of adults consider the connection between the microbiome and the brain to be important in overall health.
Previous studies have revealed that the probiotic strain works in synergy with GABA-producing gut microbes to increase overall levels of the neurotransmitter — which is commonly associated with the slowing of neural activity, as well as a calming effect.
