These findings support B. coagulans MTCC 5856 as an important new treatment option for major depressive disorder in IBS patients.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>During The Anxiety Summit 5: Gut-Brain Axis, I interviewed Kiran Krishnan who is a microbiologist, one of the founders of Microbiome Labs and a co-creator of MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122;. He reminds us about the gut-brain connection and how anxiety and mental health issues come from the gut \u201c<em>because the vast majority of serotonin in your body &#8211; more than ninety percent of it &#8211; is actually produced in the gut<\/em>\u201d and not in the brain.<\/p>\n<p>He talks about the type of cell in the gut that produces serotonin &#8211; the enterochromaffin cell &#8211; and the fact that \u201c<em>spore forming bacteria are some of the best stimulators of the enterochromaffin cell to produce serotonin.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With low levels of serotonin you\u2019ll experience the worry-type of anxiety with ruminations, obsessing, panic attacks, insomnia (often lying awake worrying). Other low serotonin symptoms include low mood\/depression, late afternoon and evening carbohydrate cravings, pain, PMS, irritability, rage and anger, TMJ, low confidence, imposter syndrome and perfectionism. This type of low-serotonin anxiety is different from the low GABA physical\/tension type anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>These cells also play a crucial role in gastrointestinal regulation, particularly intestinal motility. We know low serotonin also contributes to digestive\/IBS-type symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>You can see a list of all the low serotonin symptoms here.<\/p>\n<h2>Brandy\u2019s positive feedback on digestive issues and mental health<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thrivewellnessclinic.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brandy Oto<\/a>, a marriage, couple and family counselor, incorporates\u00a0 an integrative nutrition approach with her clients and she shares this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122; makes a HUGE difference in my body! I have used every probiotic I can think of. Megaspore has not only resolved my digestive issues and allows me regular bowel movements, I find my mental health is much better! I have decided to use it in my practice as well now. Clients consistently report better mental health!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I asked her how quickly she notices an improvement when using MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122; and what aspects of mental health improve for her and her clients. She shares this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I personally notice physical and mental anxiety decrease usually about 4-5 days, bowel movements easy within a couple days, ability to tolerate foods I was sensitive to after 6 or so months on them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Clients report all types of improvements from anxiety, depression, to digestive issues improving. I have even heard from one client that when she gets off the probiotic symptoms of schizophrenia return.<\/p>\n<p>In Brandy\u2019s mental health practice, she does use amino acids to address neurotransmitter deficiencies too (for example tryptophan or 5-HTP to address <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/tryptophan-worry-head-ruminating-type-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low serotonin symptoms like worry, fear, panic attacks<\/a>). She uses this spore-based probiotic to address underlying issues that cause those deficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not one or the other &#8211; the probiotics and amino acids are part of a comprehensive plan.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone raves about this probiotic and some folks report it either does nothing for them or is too strong for them. So, as with everything, it\u2019s very individualized.<\/p>\n<h2>How do spore-based probiotics differ from other probiotics?<\/h2>\n<p>During the Anxiety Summit interview with Kiran, he explains how they differ from other probiotics and why this is important for them to get into the gut:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These are organisms that have a unique capability of covering themselves in a thick calcified protein-like coating. So it\u2019s armor, essentially, around the bacterial cell.<\/p>\n<p>This allows these bacteria to come in through the gastric system, through the oral route, and survive the gauntlet that bacteria have to go through just getting through the process of digestion.<\/p>\n<p>So the first step is the stomach acid. The stomach acid is called the gastric barrier and that\u2019s because it acts as an actual physical barrier through the function of hydrochloric acid to try to kill off as many microbes that are trying to enter the system through food and other exposure.<\/p>\n<p>If something gets past the stomach acid then the second piece of the gauntlet are the bile salts. Bile salts are released into the duodenum itself. Those are very strong antimicrobials and part of their function is to act as an antimicrobial to protect the system against a lot of bacteria coming in on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>And then the last part is the pancreatic enzymes that help you digest your food &#8211; they also act as antimicrobials.<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s this really difficult gauntlet that the microbes that are entering the system through the oral route have to go through in order to make it past these initial systems to get to the site of action in the deeper part of the intestines where they\u2019re supposed to function as a probiotic.<\/p>\n<p>These spores have developed this unique, natural capability of covering themselves in this armor which allows them to survive through all of that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This study, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25973914\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Survival and persistence of Bacillus clausii in the human gastrointestinal tract following oral administration as spore-based probiotic formulation<\/a>\u00a0confirms the above for one particular strain and concludes that \u201c<em>Bacillus clausii spores survive transit through the human gastrointestinal tract<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Where can I buy MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122;?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/megasporebiotic-supplementfacts.jpg\" alt=\"megasporebiotic supplement facts\" width=\"205\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/megasporebiotic-supplementfacts.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/megasporebiotic-supplementfacts-154x300.jpg 154w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are the spore-based bacteria contained in the MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122; product: Bacillus Licheniformis, Bacillus Indicus HU36&#x2122;, Bacillus Subtilis HU58&#x2122;, Bacillus Clausii and Bacillus Coagulans.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122; directly from Microbiome Labs once you have set up an account with them under my name. <a href=\"https:\/\/microbiomelabs.com\/register\/?ref=tscott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Use this link<\/a>\u00a0(and make sure the Direct2Patient&#x2122; Code says tscott).<\/p>\n<p>You can also read more about the product on the <a href=\"https:\/\/microbiomelabs.com\/home\/products\/megasporebiotic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microbiome Labs site here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have an account with Fullscript, my online supplement store, you can purchase from there too.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t yet have an account with Fullscript you can read more about how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/the-antianxiety-food-solution-online-supplement-store-at-fullscript\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">set up an account here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know if you\u2019ve used MegaSporeBiotic&#x2122; with success and how it helped you with anxiety, depression and\/or gut and liver health.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know if you\u2019ve used another spore-based probiotic and which one?
