Citrus Fruit Consumption Helps Protect against Depression via Gut Microbiome: Study
Samuthpongtorn et al. report that citrus intake and its components are prospectively associated with a lower risk of depression and altered abundance of 15 gut microbial species, including enriched Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Image credit: Hans.

New research demonstrates a potential protective role of citrus fruit on the incidence of depression and suggests that Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a type of bacteria found in the human gut, and its metabolic activity may modulate the influence of citrus and its flavonoids on mood.
