Condition-Specific Probiotics for Sleep, Mood and the Immune System

Category: Dietary Supplements

Probiotics are known as “good” or “beneficial” bacteria. Probiotic supplements and foods rich in them can deliver many benefits for the human body. Dozens of different probiotic bacteria contribute to improved health.

Most people are aware of how they help the digestive system, but probiotics impact other aspects of health, as well. With this in mind, the product development specialists at Deerland stand ready to provide turnkey product formulations solutions, as well as help with developing customized, condition-specific formulas with a probiotic base. Let’s look at the benefits of probiotics for sleep, mood and the immune system.

Probiotics and Better Sleep

Everyone wants more restorative sleep. According to the American Sleep Association (ASA), 50 to 70 million adults have a sleep disorder. Insomnia is the most common.

Because of the prevalence of inadequate sleep, many seek treatments, including taking supplements. A specially formulated probiotic for rest could provide relief. An example sleep support with probiotics formula may include:

• Probiotic Bacillus subtilisDE111®: It aids in keeping intestines healthy and digestion normal. If the digestive system works efficiently, it’s much easier to find restful sleep.
• Prebiotic PreforPro®: This ingredient may relieve occasional stomach discomfort, as it stimulates beneficial bacteria growth in the gut.
• Melatonin: This natural hormone works through the endocrine system, supporting the sleep/wake cycle of the circadian rhythm.
• Herbs and Botanicals known for supporting sleep, such as lemon balm extract, chamomile or valerian root:

Probiotics in combination with botanical blends and other functional ingredients can promote healthy sleep, often making it more restorative.

Probiotics and Mood

Improving mood could start with the right probiotic supplement. Adding vitamins and amino acids in the formula encourages a normal, healthy mood. A good mood support with probiotics formula may consist of:

• Bacillus subtilisDE111®: DE111 aids in the growth of good bacteria in the gut while out-competing undesirable bacteria for improved digestion. Some intestinal microbiota can secrete neurotransmitters. Increased amounts of good bacteria can have a positive impact on mood.
• Bifidobacterium longum: This probiotic strain features in several studiesfocusing on the effects of probiotic supplementation on mood state. Those studies propose that probiotics may improve psychological well-being by ameliorating aspects of mood and sleep quality, reinforcing the theory of the gut-brain axis.
• Solarplast®: This spinach extract contains photosynthetic complexes of energy molecules, vitamins and powerful antioxidants. They spark cellular energy production, which the body needs for all systems. The high antioxidant content may work to contest free radical damage, a cause of neuroinflammation. This can directly impact mood.
• Additional vitamins and amino acids known to support a healthy mood, such as Vitamin D3 and L-theanine

Probiotics and the Immune System

A probiotic supplement with additional immune support ingredients can be very beneficial to the body. Probiotics already support gut health, which is critical to the immune system. A probiotic formula to support immune health could include:

• Spore-forming probiotic bacteria with scientifically researched immune health benefits, such as B. subtilis DE111®, B. coagulans, and B. clausii
• Solarplast®: This ingredient delivers detoxifying antioxidants, which can slow cell damage caused by free radicals. It contains glutathione and its enzyme partners that accelerate antioxidant reactions.
• Immune health-supporting vitamins, minerals and immunostimulants like vitamin C, zinc, and beta glucan
