Nutraceutical Active Ingredient

PROBIOSTRESS®zen

Maintains a relaxed yet sharp mind with a synergistic complex targeting the brain-gut axis.

A Synergistic Active Ingredient for Global Stress Management Formulations

World Health Organization estimates reveal that over 450 million individuals worldwide experience chronic mental stress and anxiety disorders, a figure that surged significantly following recent global health challenges. In response to rising international demand for non-habit-forming, natural cognitive solutions, Green Plants Extracts developed PROBIOSTRESS®zen.

PROBIOSTRESS®zen is a standardized, clinically backed active complex engineered specifically to foster mental relaxation while preserving high cognitive performance. By combining 100% pure premium probiotic strains (Lactobacillus reuteri and Bifidobacterium breve) with clinically validated SAFFR'ACTIV® saffron extract, this formulation establishes a bi-directional virtuous cycle across the brain-gut axis without drowsiness or side effects.

Bi-Directional Gut-Brain Axis Regulation

Harnessing the "Second Brain" for Mental Serenity

The intestinal microbiota is frequently recognized as the body's second brain due to its dense neuronal network and key role in neuro-metabolite production (including serotonin and GABA precursors). Microbial dysbiosis directly correlates with heightened stress, cortisol release, and mood fluctuations.

PROBIOSTRESS®zen functions via a dual-action pathway: targeted crocin and safranal bioactive compounds modulate central neurotransmitter reuptake in the brain, while L. reuteri and B. breve optimize gut microbiota composition and lower systemic neuro-inflammation. This bi-directional communication reinforces emotional equilibrium naturally.
