The gut microbiota affects not only the physical,
but also psychological well-being of a person.
The term "psychobiotic" has already been appeared, which refers to living
microorganisms. The intake of psychobiotics has a beneficial effect on the health of
patients with mental illness.
Scientists have been able to prove that, in addition to mood, active and beneficial gut
bacteria also affect the level of susceptibility to stress and anxiety.
A balanced microbiota can help cope with these pressures on mental health.
According to the results of
the study: after 4 weeks of
taking a cocktail of various
beneficial bacteria,
significant changes were
observed in certain areas of
the brain, primarily in areas
that are responsible for
emotions, feelings and pain
perception.
§ E. coli can secrete dopamine, serotonin and
norepinephrine;
§ Lactobacilli produce serotonin, GABA,
acetylcholine and histamine;
§ Bifidobacteria affect central serotonin
transmission;
§ E. coli, Bacillus and Saccharomyces spp. can
produce noradrenaline;
In this way, probiotics help to
combat stress and the ageing
process associated with it.
§ Streptococci and enterococci synthesise
serotonin;
§ Bacillus can produce dopamine.
