Ultra Flora NeuroSupport by Metagenics is a specialised probiotic formulated to support neurological health via the gut-brain axis. Targeting a healthy gut microbiota may assist in improving clinical outcomes across a range of conditions, including stress, cognition and mood states. Ultra Flora NeuroSupport features two clinically researched probiotic strains, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37™ and Lactobacillus Plantarum 299v, aiming to restore a healthy gut-brain axis and modulate the stress response.
The formula has been found to effectively modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response to stress, therefore, providing a protective effect against the effects of stress. Reinoculating the gut with healthy probiotic strains to influence gut health and function, also influences immune, endocrine and cerebral processes, all of which become vulnerable under stress conditions. Research has demonstrated that Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37 when compared to placebo could reduce perceived stress, modulate heart rate in response to stress and reduce exhaustion and improve sleep recovery. Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37 has also been shown to normalise cortisol levels at 8 pm in individuals with low chronic stress.
The specific probiotic strains help to maintain mental resilience and emotional wellbeing via neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter modulation. Clinical trial results revealed that Lactobacillus Plantarum 299v improved cognitive function in patients with major depressive disorder. The actions of Ultra Flora NeuroSupport involves enhancing vagus nerve activity which carries signals from the digestive system to the brain and vice versa. Therefore, this high potency combination works well as additional support alongside stress aggravated gut conditions.
Suitable for most people, including children and breastfeeding women, the low excipient, low-allergenic vegan formula is lactose and dairy-free, egg-free, wheat and gluten-free and free from nuts and soy protein and does not require refrigeration.
