These are normal triggers that come and go, but when stress becomes a persistent, daily experience, it can become a detriment to our overall health and well-being.
As humans, our responses to stress are just about as varied as the external stressors themselves. Some of us experience physical symptoms like headaches or gastrointestinal problems while others endure cognitive issues such as difficulty concentrating—just to name a few.
Around the globe, people are seeking relief from the frenetic pace of modern life and the stress that comes with it. More and more frequently, they’re turning to nutritional supplements or probiotics for respite, demanding natural solutions that work with our own biology.

The team behind HOWARU® Premium Probiotics is at the forefront of this trend, investigating live microbe-based dietary supplements that target the gut microbiota to influence brain function and behavior through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. But how exactly does this complex pathway govern the way we feel – and where do probiotics fit in?
