Prebiotics and Mood: Exploring the Gut-Brain Axis

Join us for an insightful webinar on the connection between prebiotics and mood, highlighting the fascinating interplay between the gut and the brain. This session will introduce the concept of prebiotics, explain what qualifies a compound as a prebiotic, and present groundbreaking research on how prebiotics can positively influence mental health.
The webinar will focus on a recent study involving 92 healthy adults with mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression. Participants received daily doses of either oligofructose, 2’-fucosyllactose, a combination of the two, or a placebo. The study revealed significant improvements in mood and changes in the gut microbiome, with increased levels of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Roseburia, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.
Key takeaways from this webinar include understanding what prebiotics are, how they impact the gut microbiome, the type of evidence required to support prebiotic claims, and the potential benefits of prebiotics on anxiety and depression. This webinar is perfect for anyone interested in the latest scientific research on nutrition and mental health.
