Why Probiotics are useful for ASD - they strengthen Oxytocin

Post Reply New Topic

Found an interesting study which found Probiotics actually have a complex-positive effect on Oxytocin, which is the chemical involved in 'bonding' behaviour.

Here is a link to a summary on this:

Oh and guess what, they also strengthen the action of GABA (another malfunctioning chemical in ASD):

Just goes to show that the saying "you are what you eat" has strong validity.
