Science & Research:
ProbioMood offers a clinically researched probiotic combination of strains developed using an innovative, patented microencapsulation process. This technology protects 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 health, in part by supporting healthy cytokine balance and intestinal integrity.1, 2 In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, supplementation with this combination maintained healthy urinary cortisol levels, indicating the potential to lessen occasional stress. In a separate analysis, supplemented subjects reported positive mood, relaxation and enhanced cognitive function.3, 4 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%.5‡
