The Best Supplement for Brain Health?!

Quickly boost your memory and attention
You already know that probiotics can help your gut health.
But that’s just the beginning.
You see, they work by populating your gut—your microbiome—with good bacteria that are important for everything from aiding in digestion, to boosting your immune system, to protecting against disease-causing organisms.
But it turns out these bacteria could also hold the key to protecting your brain health and boosting your cognitive function, too.
If you think about it, it makes sense that your gut and your brain are connected.
When you’re nervous, you can feel nauseous.
When you’re worried, you can get a “sinking” feeling in the pit of your stomach.
When you’re excited, you can feel butterflies.
This occurs because there’s a link that connects your gut to your brain. It’s called, appropriately, the gut-brain axis, and it acts as a highway that links emotional and cognitive centers of your brain with intestinal functions.
I’m pointing this out so that when I tell you that taking probiotics can improve your brain function, you won’t roll your eyes or look at me like I have two heads.
Mouse studies have already shown that altering the microbiome causes behavioral and cognitive changes. And certain changes to your gut microbiome have been found to contribute to the development of cognitive impairment, depression, and even Alzheimer’s.
A more recent analysis of human studies compared the impact of at least one live probiotic strain on cognitive performance measures like memory, attention, and executive function.
Here are the highlights:
- In adults with mild cognitive impairment, taking a probiotic for 24 weeks improved mini-mental state exam (MMSE) scores (a test for cognitive impairment).
- Adults with mild cognitive impairment demonstrated significant improvements in memory and attention after taking a probiotic for 12 weeks.
- In Alzheimer’s patients, taking a probiotic for 12 weeks led to improvements in the MMSE scores, including improvements in information processing and executive functioning.
There’s currently no cure for Alzheimer’s.
But there ARE ways to help protect your brain—and probiotics provide a simple way to add in an important layer of protection.
