"Researchers from Iran show in the first human trial that probiotics appear to improve brain cognition in humans."





"The trial lasted for 12 weeks. Scientists conducted blood tests on all the participants at the beginning and the end of the trial. They also tested the cognitive function of the subjects with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire.

Researchers observed that in the group of patients receiving probiotics, the average score on the MMSE questionnaire increased significantly, from 8.7 to 10.6. The maximum MMSE score is 30. But in the control group, there was little change; the average MMSE score went from 8.5 to 8.0."
