Published in American Journal of Gastroenterology
Abstract
Randomised crossover neuroimaging study of Bifidobacterium longum 1714 in healthy volunteers.
Key Findings
B. longum 1714 altered resting-state neural oscillations and reduced subjective stress during social stress testing, without changing gut symptoms.
Conclusions
Neurophysiological effects are demonstrable but clinical relevance remains unproven.
Limitations
Small healthy-volunteer crossover; surrogate neuroimaging endpoints.
Supplements Studied
B. longum 1714 altered resting-state neural oscillations and reduced subjective stress during social stress testing, without changing gut symptoms.
Outcomes Measured
B. longum 1714 altered resting-state neural oscillations and reduced subjective stress during social stress testing, without changing gut symptoms.
