Probiotics Condition Concentration Evidence Ref
B. coagulans MTCC 5856 Depressive disorder in IBS patients 2 × 109 CFU The human trials adjusted the depression score and reduced serum myeloperoxidase in patients with irritable bowel syndrome [79]
L. helveticus R0052 and B. longum R0175 Major depressive disorder 10 × 109 CFU Improved the BDI score in patients with depressive disorder through the regulation of the kynurenine to tryptophan ratio [80]
L. helveticus R0052 and B. longum R0175 3 × 109 CFU Daily administration significantly improved overall mood, anhedonia, decreased anxiety, and ameliorated quality of sleep in humans [81]
B. bifidum W23, B. lactis W51, B. lactis W52, L. brevis W63, L. casei W56, L. lactis W58, L. salivarius W24, L. acidophilus W37, and L. lactis W19 Depression 1 × 1010 CFU Decreased cognitive reactivity in human trials, a variable associated with susceptibility to depression [82]
Migraine 2.5 × 109 CFU Had a positive impact on the frequency and severity of migraine in human trials [83]
L. plantarum P8 Stress/anxiety 2 × 1010 CFU Improved stress and anxiety symptoms through the ability to enrich the diversity of neurotransmitter-synthesizing/consuming species-level genome bins and microbial neuroactive metabolites [84]
