Prebiotic supplement Bimuno could be used to treat anxiety. A clinical trial, conducted by the University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry and published in the journal Psychopharmacology, looked at the effect of the powder on levels of stress hormones in the body, as well as mood.

Trials are now planned on individuals suffering anxiety.
