ProbioMood offers a clinically researched probiotic combination of strains developed using an innovative, patented microencapsulation process designed to protect the probiotic strains from harsh conditions, including gastric acidity, compression and thermal shock. This probiotic strain combination offers unique support for emotional well-being and relaxation. Research suggests that Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell-52 and Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175 support emotional well-being, at least in part by supporting a healthy cytokine balance and intestinal integrity. In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, supplementation with the combination maintained healthy urinary cortisol levels, as well as supported positive mood, relaxation and cognitive function. In an analysis of a subset of subjects with the lowest levels of urinary cortisol, L. helveticus Rosell-52 and B. longum Rosell-175 promoted emotional well-being, relaxation and cognitive function. In another randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial, L. helveticus Rosell-52 and B. longum Rosell-175 moderated the normal gastrointestinal stress response by 49%.‡
