Animal studies indicate that prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides (FOSs), which are concentrated in artichokes, may help reduce stress levels.
Furthermore, one study found that people who consumed 5 grams or more of prebiotics per day had reduced anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as that high-quality, prebiotic-rich diets, may reduce stress risk.
