Key Findings
Twelve weeks of probiotic supplementation improved cognitive and mood scores alongside gut microbiota shifts in older adults.
Conclusions
Supportive but single-population evidence.
Supplements Studied
Sixty-three healthy elders consumed either placebo or probiotics containing Bifidobacterium bifidum BGN4 and Bifidobacterium longum BORI for 12 weeks.
Probiotic supplementation improves cognitive function and mood with changes in gut microbiota in community-dwelling older adults.
Relative abundance of inflammation-causing gut bacteria was significantly reduced at Week 12 in the probiotics group (p < .05).
Outcomes Measured
Twelve weeks of probiotic supplementation improved cognitive and mood scores alongside gut microbiota shifts in older adults.
