“Pairwise comparisons revealed BDI scores were significantly lower in the OF and OF/2’FL interventions compared with maltodextrin: OF (P ≤ 0.001; mean difference: −7.96; 95% CI: −12.03, −3.90); OF/2’FL (P ≤ 0.001; mean difference: −6.86; 95% CI: −10.93, −2.80).”

Quoted verbatim from Inulin-type fructans and 2'fucosyllactose alter both microbial composition and appear to alleviate stress-induced mood state in a working population compared to placebo (maltodextrin): the EFFICAD Trial, a randomized, controlled trial.
