Clinically proven prebiotic support for cognition and mental wellbeing
Today’s consumers are prioritising brain related health like never before – from cognitive performance and focus to mood balance and emotional resilience.
Bimuno® GOS: A proven prebiotic for cognitive and mental health
Importantly, human clinical studies examining the relationship between Bimuno GOS and brain health parameters suggest potential support for cognitive function and performance.
The gut-brain axis: a two-way communication system
The gut-brain axis is a dynamic, two-way communication network that links the gut microbiome and the brain through neural, hormonal, and immune pathways.
One of the key mechanisms of the gut-brain axis is the gut’s ability to produce and regulate neurotransmitters – essential chemical messengers associated with functions of the nervous systems. In fact, the gut plays a crucial role in this process, producing many of the same neurotransmitters, including serotonin.
Approximately 90% of the body’s serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood, sleep and emotional wellbeing, originates in the gut.
Beneficial gut bacteria, such as bifidobacteria, are also known to produce gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter well-known for its regulation of several physiological and psychological functions including stress regulation and sleep quality.
Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is therefore essential for supporting healthy mood, cognitive function, and mental resilience.
