Summary

To determine whether PS128 (1) reduces the severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms, (2) adjusts autonomic nervous system functioning, and (3) improves sleep quality.

Detailed description

Forty participants with self-reported insomnia between 20 and 40 years old were randomly assigned to two groups, the PS128 and a placebo group, under the double-blind trial. Participants took two capsules with or without PS128 after dinner for 30 days. Study measures included subjective depressive symptoms, anxiety and sleep questionnaires, and miniature polysomnography (miniature-PSG) recordings at baseline and on the 15th and 30th days after taking capsules.
