Results

Results showed that the active group had significantly improved scores in the domains of complex attention, cognitive flexibility, and executive function, as well as in the domain of neurocognitive index, an assessment of overall cognitive function, compared to the placebo group. In addition, the number of bifidobacteria in the feces of the active group was significantly increased versus the placebo group, and the values of several serum inflammatory markers were significantly reduced.
