Summary

Emerging evidence from preclinical research suggests that prebiotic fibres may play a beneficial role in supporting mental health through modulation of the gut-brain axis-a complex communication network linking the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. Chicory root-derived prebiotic fibre, already well-established for its positive effects on glycaemic control and bowel regularity, has recently shown promise in this context. The present study aims to investigate the mental health benefits of chicory root fibre in a larger and more diverse population, thereby contributing to the growing body of evidence supporting nutritional strategies for mental well-being.
