New evidence is adding to previous research showing that Limosilactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) improves the social function of children with autism.
Published in Cell Host and Microbe, the study found that the bacteria—formerly called Lactobacillus reuteri—improved some social function markers related to autistic behavior. Though it involved a small cohort of 43 children, the study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, considered the gold standard for quality research.
