Hello -
A recent study in Frontiers in Nutrition shows the brain-gut interaction in a striking way.
The study noted that the effects of herbs on brain function are often investigated in isolation. But herbs are complex combinations of phytochemicals, designed to target widespread bodily mechanisms.
They assessed a multi-ingredient herbal supplement on cognitive function in older adults with subjective memory decline. And they investigated whether any effects found were underpinned by shifts in microbial composition and/or metabolism of the herbs.
The study found that the herbal supplement increased speed of cognitive task performance, and also signifcantly reduced levels of the bacteria Sutterella in the gut, which was associated with improved bowel movements.
I find it amazing that the bacteria in your bowel affects the abilities of your brain!
And more about brain-gut dysfunction and IBS...
You are not alone!
