A healthy GI environment impacts more than just digestion. If you’ve ever felt like your stomach was in knots over a stressful situation, you know how connected your gut and your mood are. Swanson Happy Microbiome Stress Support Probiotic works along what is called the gut-brain axis to support a healthy response to stress and calm the GI tract. Your gut and brain have more in common than you may realize. Many of the same neurotransmitters produced in the brain—such as serotonin, dopamine and GABA—are also produced in the gut, and the two systems are connected by the gut-brain axis. Emerging research shows potential for microbiome-balancing probiotics to positively impact emotional wellbeing. Swanson Happy Microbiome Stress Support Probiotic delivers Cerebiome™, an award-winning, clinically studied blend of two popular probiotic strains—Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell®-52 and Bifidobacterium longum Rosell®-175—that provide both gut and brain support. Cerebiome is what is called a psychobiotic—a probiotic that helps the body produce serotonin and other neurotransmitters to support mental wellbeing. It has been extensively researched for its potential to ease the physical and psychological impacts of stress as well as promote digestive health and comfort.
