Lactobacillus rhamnosus use in Pregnancy Can Significantly Reduce Postpartum Depression-Anxiety by Tori Hudson, N.D.

"The current study is a two-center #randomized #doubleblind #placebo-controlled trial testing the effect of #Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 on atopic disorders including eczema, but also on pregnancy outcomes and #postpartum symptoms of #depression and #anxiety. Pregnant women were randomized to receive either placebo or 1 billion colony forming units Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 daily, over a period of 6 months if #breastfeeding. Mothers in the probiotic group reported significantly lower depression and anxiety scores than the placebo group."http://drtorihudson.com/general/nutrition/lactobacillus-rhamnosus-use-in-pregnancy-can-significantly-postpartum-depression-anxiety/
