Mood & Stress Probiotic
Renew Life
Overview
The Renew Life Mood & Stress Probiotic contains strains, particularly Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus helveticus, that have some research supporting their role in gut health and potential influence on mood and stress. While B. longum has robust evidence for conditions like IBS and NEC, its specific impact on mood in typical populations is part of a broader "psychobiotic" concept with emerging, yet mixed, research. The total CFU count of 3 billion is on the lower end for psychobiotics, which often use 10-100 billion CFU.
The Good
Contains specific probiotic strains (Lactobacillus helveticus, Bifidobacterium longum) with research linking them to gut-brain axis modulation.
Formulated to address both mood/stress and gastrointestinal comfort simultaneously.
Easy-to-use one-capsule-daily dosage.
The Bad
The total 3 billion live cultures may be on the lower end of effective dosing for more significant psychobiotic effects, as some research suggests higher CFUs (10-100 billion) for mood support.
Specific quantities of each individual strain within the 'Culture Blend' are not disclosed, limiting a precise evaluation of their efficacy.
Contains traces of soy and milk from culture media, which could be an issue for individuals with sensitivities or allergies.
