🔥LOWERS INFLAMMATION:
It alleviates depressive-like behavior and reduces inflammation level in mice with early life stress. This was then reported in a human study, where there was a reduction in depressive symptoms and levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) after an eight-week PS128 intervention in two patients with MDD (Chang et al., 2019). Promising.
🏋🏽♀️🏃🏾THE ATHLETE’S PROBIOTIC:
It reduces body fat, stimulates the growth of muscle tissue and boost muscle strength and endurance capacity, based off experiments in mice (National Taiwan Sport University).
🤓COMBATS AUTISM?!
This four-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 (PS128) on boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 7-15. Results showed that PS128 ameliorated opposition/defiance behaviors, and that the total score of SNAP-IV for younger children (aged 712) improved significantly compared with the placebo group. Additionally, several elements were also notably improved in the PS128 group after 28-day consumption of PS128 (Liu et al., 2019).
💥TAKEAWAY:
This probiotic appears very promising for a wide range of potential conditions. Keep a look out for more research in this space. Found in high amounts in pickled cabbage.
