The study appears to show reductions of over 30% in depression and anxiety scores, using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale [HAMD-17] and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale [HAMA].

The 14-strain probiotic supplement was very similar to others one can dig up. Here’s the information from the study:

“This study will use the probiotic formulation ‘BioKult Advanced’ by Protexin, which contains the main bacteria strains demonstrated to have a beneficial effect on depressive symptoms in human studies. BioKult contains: Bacillus subtilis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus. Each capsule contains minimum 2 billion live microorganisms per capsule (2x10 9 CFU/capsule), equivalent to 10 billion live microorganisms per gram (1x10 10 CFU/gram). BioKult has a two-year shelf life and guaranteed stability and count for the full two years.”
