PRONULIFE® IntBrain
The prevalence of brain and cognitive disorders continues to rise worldwide, significantly impacting quality of life. Contrary to common belief, brain aging does not begin only in old age: after age 40, humans lose around 10,000 neurons daily. Brain volume decreases by 0.2% annually from age 35, accelerating to 0.5% annually after 60 — and neuronal loss is irreversible.
Driven by global aging, lifestyle stressors such as pandemics and wars, consumer demand for “anti-aging and mental clarity” solutions is growing rapidly. Among research trends, the gut–brain axis has become a central focus. NutraIngredients and other leading media highlight probiotics as key ingredients for cognitive support.
The Gut–Brain Axis: The “Long-Term Strategy” for a Younger Brain
The gut is often called the “second brain” as it produces many neurotransmitters also found in the brain, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. Over 90% of serotonin is synthesized in the gut, directly linking gut health with mood and cognition.Key findings:
- Bifidobacteria decline with age
- Gut dysbiosis is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
- Gut microbes influence neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and cognitive decline via the gut–brain axis
How Probiotics Support Brain Health
- Aging reduces core beneficial microbes, impacting gut and brain health
- BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is critical for neural networks but significantly reduced in AD patients
- Studies show that Lactobacillus + Bifidobacterium combinations can elevate BDNF, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, and slow cognitive decline
Clinically Validated — PRONULIFE® IntBrain Cognitive Probiotics
Formulated with five premium strains — B. longum subsp. infantis BLI-02, B. breve Bv-889, B. animalis subsp. lactis CP-9, B. bifidum VDD088, L. plantarum PL-02 — PRONULIFE® IntBrain demonstrates:- Antioxidant activity
- Anti-inflammatory benefits
- Neuroprotective effects against brain aging
Animal Study
Reduced oxidative accumulation in aging mouse organs, increased short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate, which supports brain health and gut integrity.Clinical Study
In Alzheimer’s patients:- BDNF increased by 36% in the high-dose group
- Decreased oxidative and inflammatory markers (MDA, PCC, IL-1β)
- Slower progression of cognitive and behavioral decline
- Enriched beneficial gut bacteria, improving microbiota balance
