Bio-kult Everyday was shown to improve mood in a randomised controlled trial in people with low mood. In people with depression, Bio-kult appeared to improve peoples’ ability to process emotions compared to those who took a placebo. The dose was 8 billion cfu per day (4 Bio-kult Everyday capsules or 1 Bio-kult Boosted capsule).
