Your gut plays a vital role in hormonal health and mood regulation. Through the gut-brain-hormone axis, your microbiome helps modulate oestrogen, cortisol, neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, and immune signals, all of which influence mood stability, energy levels, and hormonal balance.

What is the gut-brain-hormone axis and why does it matter?

The gut-brain-hormone axis is the communication network between your digestive system, brain, and hormonal glands. It influences how you feel, think, sleep, and cycle.

A healthy gut microbiome helps regulate:

• Oestrogen metabolism (via the estrobolome)

• Cortisol response to stress

• Neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA

• Immune signals that affect inflammation and mood

When gut health is compromised, it can lead to PMS, mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, and skin flare-ups.

How do probiotics help balance hormones and reduce stress?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support gut harmony and help regulate hormonal and emotional wellbeing.

For Hormonal Balance:

• Support oestrogen clearance, easing PMS, acne, breast tenderness

• Regulate cortisol, reducing reactivity to stress

• Aid thyroid function through better T3/T4 conversion

For Mental Wellbeing:

• Produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA

• Reduce anxiety and low mood (e.g. L. rhamnosus, B. longum)

• Improve sleep quality by reducing inflammation and promoting calm

How does Flora Daily Biotic support your hormones and mood?

Flora Daily Biotic is designed to support the gut-brain-hormone axis by restoring microbial balance and reducing inflammation.

Key benefits:

What are the signs of hormonal and gut imbalance?

Wondering if your symptoms might be rooted in gut-hormone disruption? Look for:

• Mood swings or anxiety

• Hormonal acne or skin sensitivity

• Digestive discomfort, bloating, food intolerances

• Fatigue, brain fog, low motivation

• Irregular or painful periods

• Trouble sleeping or staying asleep

These symptoms often overlap and point to gut-driven hormone dysregulation.
