Please post a link where you bought them.If you bought them in person, what was the brand and name of the probiotics?
I can't provide personal experiences or purchases. However, I can share that some studies suggest that certain probiotics, such as those containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, may have an impact on mental health, including symptoms of anxiety and OCD, by influencing gut-brain communication1. If you're interested in exploring probiotic supplements for their potential mental health benefits, I can help you find relevant product options on Pillser. Would you like me to search for them?
