Mental wellness
It’s more than thoughts and feelings. It’s about how people live, love, rest and rise. It’s life, levelled up.
Mind care is full-body care
Consumers perceive mental wellness as multifaceted and interconnected. There isn’t one way to achieve mental wellness. Neither is there one way to lose it.
Gut health can influence lifestyle habits and mental wellness, and vice versa—this is a two-way relationship known as the gut-brain axis.
Poor sleep and lack of relaxation can lead to feelings of anxiousness, low mood, and low energy. In contrast, rest and quality sleep help reduce stress and support a positive mood.
Healthier habits and small changes can set the path toward stronger mental wellness1.
Develop a solution addressing real challenges
Consumers consider stress and sleep to be the most challenging aspects of mental wellness. What’s more, 95% of people who feel a level of stress or anxiousness believe it has an impact on their current health.2
ProbioBrain™ – a solution for mental wellness
Our unique Bifidobacterium longum 1714™ is a bacterial strain that naturally thrives in the human gut. It’s a psychobiotic clinically studied to address all the multifaceted aspects of mental wellness.
Studies have shown that ProbioBrain™ may help calm both physical and mental responses to everyday stress4. It may also support people in balancing emotions, functioning socially, and staying calm. Improved sleep quality5 and enhanced energy6 have also been observed in ProbioBrain™ studies.
Inside the gut-brain connection
