Studies have shown that probiotic or "good" bacteria added to dairy products have the ability to change brain chemistry and soothe the symptoms of anxiety and depression-related disorders.

A new study by scientists from the McCann University of Canada confirms the relationship between probiotics and improvement of depression symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

The researchers found that adult patients with irritable bowel syndrome had a much better chance of improving the symptoms of depression after taking probiotic Bifidobacterium longum NCC3001 compared to patients who received placebo.
Depression

The study involved 44 adults with irritable bowel syndrome and mild to moderate depression who were medically monitored for 10 weeks.

Half of the participants received a daily dose of Bifidobacterium longum NCC3001, while the others received a placebo.
At the end of 6 weeks, 64% of patients taking probiotic had reduced symptoms of depression compared to 32% of the placebo group.

Dr. Premysl Bercik said research shows that consumption of a particular probiotic may improve symptoms in the intestine and psychological issues associated with the condition.
He also noted that he is opening a new road not only to treat patients with intestinal disorders but also for patients with mental illness.
