Resumen

Estudios clínicos y animales limitados han demostrado algunos efectos beneficiosos del ZW en la salud mental. Nuestra hipótesis es que el ZW podría afectar la salud mental al influir en el eje microbiota-intestino-cerebro o en el eje hipotálamo-hipófisis-suprarrenal, gracias a sus propiedades antioxidantes, antiinflamatorias, antimicrobianas e inmunomoduladoras. Recomendamos la realización de estudios observacionales, cualitativos y aleatorizados y controlados para determinar los posibles efectos del ZW en la salud mental.
