In the studies performed with FOR MIND & MOOD none of the participants were taking antidepressants and therefore, we have no data yet to substantiate that it can decrease the side-effects caused by anti-depression medicines. However, overall systematic reviews of probiotics as a potential adjunct therapy (in addition to antidepressants) in depression are encouraging. That being said, we recommend that you check with your health practitioner before taking this product.

The gut is the largest endocrine organ within the human body, it is referred to as the enteric endocrine system. The gut is able to respond to signals from the endocrine system in an effort to control and coordinate digestion, absorption and excretion of nutrients, but it is also able to produce hormones of its own that help manages many of these processes alongside satiety and appetite.

The gut microbiome is also able to produce various neurotransmitters, including GABA, serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine and melatonin, which heavily influence our energy mood and more. 

Many women cite mood swings as one of the hardest symptoms of perimenopause. Fluctuations in hormone levels can cause surges and drops in oestrogen and progesterone, disturbing the intricate balance of hormones in your body. When this happens, mood and mental health can be destabilised, seemingly out of nowhere. 

The gut plays a crucial role in synthesising oestrogen, it is also responsible for producing 95% of your body’s serotonin (your happy hormone). These two hormones are tightly linked. When oestrogen levels drop, so do serotonin levels, which is why depressive symptoms are often linked to hormonal health. 

For oestrogen, serotonin and the other chemical messengers linked to mood, to be produced effectively in the gut, the microbiome must be in-balance and the intestinal barrier strong. In fact, studies repeatedly show that declining oestrogen during perimenopause changes your gut bacteria composition.
