A double-blinded placebo controlled trial finds that probiotic supplementation for 1 year resulted in 50% less bone loss compared to placebo.
“The elderly women with low bone-density supplemented with L. reuteri 6475 (1x1010 CFU/day) or placebo for 12 months. There was a 50% reduction in total bone density in the distal tibia. The two groups were similar regarding all anthropometric and lifestyle factors.”

Gut bacteria may help creatine reach the brain and support its antidepressant effects.
“If this potentially synergistic effect of creatine and specific probiotics is confirmed in larger, well-controlled human trials that compare the effects of creatine and probiotics individually to their combination and placebo, targeting this gut–brain energy pathway could offer a new approach to improving depression treatment.”
