Probiotics ease chronic fatigue
Posted 3 years ago by Soraya in General Health News
This study was prompted by preceding research suggesting that people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) have alterations in their intestinal microbiota, and that gut bacteria could influence mood-related symptoms and even behaviour in humans. This randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled pilot study involved 39 CFS patients, and administered either Lactobacillus casei or a placebo daily for two months. The results found a significant increase in both Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria in patients taking the probiotics, and also a notable decrease in anxiety symptoms amongst those taking probiotics as opposed to the controls.
