Probiotic Formulation for Patients With Bipolar or Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder: A Double-Blind, Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
Our study observed significant advantages of probiotics for gut health in BD and SSD, with excellent safety and tolerability. A borderline effect on verbal memory was also indicated. These results underscore the need for further research into microbiome-targeted interventions for patients with complex brain disorders.
