DID YOU KNOW that there have been several fascinating studies on probiotics recently?
Authors from an Archives of Toxicology study report that probiotic supplementation can reduce the negative impacts of Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on neurodevelopment, behavior, and metabolism. PBDEs are fire-retardant chemicals that are found everywhere -- upholstery, carpets, curtains, electronics, and even infant products. Known to disrupt hormones and persist in the environment, these pollutants have been detected in water, soil, air, food products, animals, human tissues, and even breast milk.
Probiotics, compared with antidepressants and placebo, may be efficacious as an adjunct or standalone therapy for treating major depression, according to a study from Nutrition Reviews.
The administration of probiotics positively modulates the immune system by maintaining homeostasis between individual immune system cells, according to a study from Nutrients. Thus, they have a clear influence on the processes occurring in asthma, especially reducing mucus secretion in the airway, improve parameters of forced expiratory volume, peak expiratory flow, and reduced inflammation.
