Copied From Psychobiotics

Psychobiotics are probiotic or prebiotic substances which are intended to confer mental health benefits by assisting or causing colonisation of the gut with commensal bacteria, which is hypothesized to modify brain function via the gut–brain axis.

Psychobiotics are live organisms that, when ingested in appropriate amounts, confer a mental health benefit through association with the commensal bacteria of gut of the host organism [1]. The aforementioned commensal bacteria play a key role in the bidirectional gut-brain axis. Psychobiotics can be subdivided into probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics.
