Stress: The Modern Epidemic

According to a recent report from the American Institute of Stress, a large subset of the population is experiencing occasional stress that impacts their lifestyle. One in 10 Americans seek intervention to manage stress-related issues, including to support occasional mood changes, occasional sleeplessness, and lack of energy.

The Gut-Brain Axis and the Psychobiome

The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication between gut microbiota and the central nervous system (CNS), may play a role in cognitive function, digestion, and mood. Studies show that 80-90% of the fibers in the vagus nerve are linked to the gut, providing a physical link through which the gut microbiota communicate with the brain. Relatedly, the term psychobiome is used to describe the interaction between a person’s collective microbiome and their mental state. A diverse and balanced microbiome can help maintain the gut-brain axis. A psychobiotic is used to describe the commensal bacteria that play a role in the gut-brain axis and support brain health.

1714™: A Trail-blazing Psychobiotic

Microbiome Labs solution to supporting the psychobiome uses cutting-edge probiotic technology. 1714™, a unique strain of Bifidobacterium longum, is an up-and-coming psychobiotic that can help support the management of occasional stress and its biochemical expression within the human body. This psychobiotic exerts its effect by targeting the HPA axis to support healthy cortisol levels. 1714™ may support mental health, cognitive process, neurotransmitters, and overall feeling of well-being. In a 4-week human trial, 1714™ reduced perceived stress, improved memory performance, reduced mental fatigue, positively supported brainwave activity, and improved ability to handle occasional stress.

Zenbiome Cope Key Ingredients

BIFIDOBACTERIUM LONGUM (1714™):

A high potency psychobiotic, 1714™ helps support the body’s response to occasional stress and maintains the body’s cognitive function. This strain helps support HPA axis function and helps maintain cortisol levels already within a normal range. In studies, it also helped support memory function.

VITAMIN B6 (PYRIDOXINE)

Vitamin B6 is a quintessential B vitamin for supporting healthy transmitter signaling. Vitamin B6 is a cofactor required to convert glutamate to GABA—a natural mood support. B6 is also a cofactor in converting 5-HTP to serotonin, which supports happiness and mood.

VITAMIN B12 (HYDROXOCOBALAMIN)

Vitamin B12 can support serotonin synthesis, which can help maintain calm moods and positive coping mechanisms. B12 supplementation can help maintain homocysteine levels already within a normal range, which is associated with supporting cognitive health.

SAFFRON EXTRACT

Saffron extract can help support central nervous function and mood
