In a study published, the strain L. plantarum HEAL9 (HEAL9™) was shown to significantly improve cognitive performance and mental health in general.
Probiotics, as defined by the World Health Organization, are “live microorganisms that confer a health benefit when administered in sufficient doses”. These microorganisms can be found naturally in some foods or administered through different types of food supplements.
For 2020, the finding From this benefit, using these compounds improved the mental health of patients, which has been rapidly deteriorating in the general population, with a widely known effect on strengthening the immune and digestive systems.

However, the evidence points to a beneficial role for probiotics, including a positive impact on behavior, mood and cognition, he explained. Maria Jose Quesada RodriguezGeneral Health Psychologist, researcher at the Catholic University of Murcia, Spain
Consumer interest in mental health and well-being is growing rapidly, and understanding of the important connection between the microbiome in the gut and mood, cognition, and mental health continues to increase. Said the Probi company in a press release.
The company that published the study reported that probiotic supplements, which support mental health and wellness, are forecast to have a market growth of 44% over the next 10 years, from $140 million in 2023 to $202 million. in 2033.
Studies in both animals and humans have shown that probiotics can reduce anxiety-like behavior, decrease stress and stress-related gastrointestinal dysfunction, as well as affect circulating levels of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been linked to severe cognitive impairment as well as metabolic defects. It has recently been identified that these complications could be modulated by the activity of the intestinal microbiota and by the administration of probiotics. However, there are no studies that consider the role of these microorganisms in cases of neurodegenerative pathology.
In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the consumption of probiotics for 12 weeks enhances cognitive function and optimizes some metabolic parameters of patients that improve cognitive functions in patients with Alzheimer’s, according to a publication by Savalnet. In short, probiotics improve cognitive functions in patients with Alzheimer’s.
A substantial improvement
The randomized controlled study investigated the effects of the HEAL9™ strain on stress, cognition, sleep and mood in 129 healthy but stressed people. Data showed a significant improvement in learning and working memory after consumption of HEAL9™ for 12 weeks compared to placebo. There were also strong trends to improve mood and sleep. This is the third mental health clinical study to document strong results.
“Mental health and well-being is a field with significant growth potential. This complementary study demonstrates that our HEAL9™ strain has a clinically proven strong effect in the gut and brain area and increases our confidence ahead of the official launch of our new product at Supply Side West in Las Vegas in October,” says Anita Johansen, Executive Director of Probi.
another study presented at the American Society for Nutrition Annual Meeting, found that participants with mild cognitive impairment who took a probiotic known as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) for three months their cognitive state improved. This positive effect was also related to changes in the gut microbiome.
The results of the work have been presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Nutrition, Nutrition 2023. “The implication of this finding is very exciting, as it means that probiotic modification of the gut microbiome could be a strategy to improve cognitive performance,” said Mashael Aljumaah, a microbiology doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. and North Carolina State University.
