“Nursing mothers that supplemented with the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteriis for 3 weeks were twice as likely as a placebo to reduce crying by 50% in colicky babies who are exclusively breastfed.”

“Probiotics increase the production of a type of cancer-killing immune cell called natural T killer cells and is thought to be partly responsible for the tumor reduction. In the case of colon cancer, probiotics have also been shown to prevent the conversion of procarcinogens into carcinogens.”

“This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Mothers were given the probiotic visbiome (900 billion probiotics which equals 2 packets per day) at the start of the third trimester and continued until four weeks after delivery.”

“The probiotic also altered their gut microbial composition toward a more favorable profile and increased levels of isovaleric acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid (also known as GABA), metabolites involved in melatonin production and circadian rhythm regulation, respectively.”

“Injection with a specific probiotic strain of bacteria (called Mycobacterium vaccae) prevents inflammation in the brain caused by stress and reduces stress-induced anxiety behavior in mice.”

“My favorite probiotic is VSL#3. It has 10X the amount of live bugs than any other probiotic. It has over 25 published studies showing treats crohn's and IBD. It increases the the amount of lactate producing bacteria in gut by 25-fold, and lowers gut inflammation.”

“Mice treated with the probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis lived significantly longer than controls, had decreased levels of inflammation, healthier colons, and a stronger gut barrier. Part of the positive benefits of this probiotic were mediated by increased production of spermidine (which also improves lifespan in mice) in the colon.”

“A pilot study finds people with multiple sclerosis (and healthy controls) increased several species of beneficial gut bacteria and induced an anti-inflammatory immune response after supplementation with a strong, high CFU probiotic for 3 months.”

“This is pretty clever because they modified the e.coli to bind to cancer cells. One issue w/ broccoli extract is that the conversion to sulforaphane in vivo depends on gut bacteria, usually resulting in different bioavailability from person to person.”

“Combining the repeated assessments through age 11, 42.1% of children in the HN001 group met the study's criteria for eczema at least once, compared with 59.4% of those in the placebo group. HN001 was also linked to fewer children showing allergic sensitization on skin prick testing.”
