Abstract

Limited animal and clinical studies have shown some beneficial effects of ZW on mental health. We hypothesize that ZW may affect mental health by influencing the microbiota-gut-brain axis or the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. We recommend that randomized-controlled, observational and qualitative studies should be performed to determine the potential effects of ZW on mental health.
