Probiotics for Healthy Ageing
Healthy ageing is a life-long process of maintaining and improving physical and mental health, independence, and quality of life. Lacticaseibacillus paracasei PS23™ is such a type of strain that could be used as a typical example of healthy ageing probiotic since it has been shown to reduce age-related decreases of muscle mass and strength, cognitive decline and memory impairment in ageing mice models.
What is PS23™?
First isolated from a healthy human gut, L. paracasei PS23™ is a psychobiotic strain that can decrease the chronic effects of ageing and stress, supports memory and cognition, and helps maintain muscle strength and protein uptake. PS23™ could be used as a functional supplement targeted for anti-ageing, such as cognitive or sarcopenic improvement. PS23HK™ are the heat-inactivated postbiotics from PS23™. Both PS23™ and PS23HK™ help maintain positive mood and motivation, reduce stress and anxiety, and help maintain a healthy gut as a foundation of the gut-brain axis.
As a safe, natural product that is vegan, Kosher, and Halal, PS23™/PS23HK™ offer an easy, gentle way to improve your mental health and maintain muscle youthfulness.
What are the benefits of PS23™/PS23HK™?
-
Boosts mitochondria function to fight adverse effect of ageing
-
Replenishes BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) for memory & cognition
-
Helps maintain muscle strength & increases protein uptake
-
Balances dopamine (motivation) & serotonin (positive mood)
-
Reduces cortisol (stress) levels throughout the body
-
Lowers inflammation, raises antioxidants & strengthens immune function
-
Improves GI function & healthy gut microbiota composition
What do studies say about PS23™?
PS23™ Probiotic & PS23HK™ has been tested in 12 published scientific studies, which provide clinical evidence of its effect in reducing anxiety and stress.
Pre-clinical results suggest PS23HK™ also offers significant benefits for muscle maintenance, and boosts memory, cognition, and alertness through stimulation of key brain molecules.
How does PS23™ work?
From within the gut, PS23™ regulates pathways that determine concentrations of different molecules in the body. PS23™ acts to counter multiple symptoms of ageing including memory and muscle decline.
This may result from improved mitochondrial health and enhanced nervous system function. PS23™ has the potential to modulate BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol levels. PS23™ may modulate ghrelin hormone to preserve muscle and increase protein absorption.
What are the key functions & benefits of PS23™?
PS23™/PS23HK™ offer proven probiotic power for muscle maintenance and anti-ageing.
