Clinical Study Title:
Effect of a probiotic multivitamin compound on stress and exhaustion.

Plain English Summary:

This study looked at the effect of a multivitamin over the course of a 6 month period on adults with stress and/or exhaustion. Participants were given pretest measures of psychological and neurological symptoms. After the 6 months ended, participants noted an overall 40% reduction in stress, and almost 25% reduction of negatve conditions, while an almost 20% increase in positive conditions. There was also 30% less infections reported, as well as a 91% decrease in intestinal pain. This suggests that the daily use of an oral multivitamin supplement will help reduce stress and many of the physical symptoms of stress.
