Pioneers of the Brain-Gut axis

The role of bacteria might play in the Brain-Gut axis is still under research, however, the Rosell® Institute for Microbiome and Probiotics by Lallemand initiated in 2010 the first-ever gold standard clinical study on the Brain-Gut axis in healthy adults, discovering the positive effects of a probiotic formula on occasional psychological stress. This specific psychobiotic formula was proven efficient to promote a positive mood in stressful events whilst helping to moderate physiological [Diop, 2008] and psychological [Messaoudi, 2010, 2011] responses to occasional stress.
