The potential effects of Zamzam water on mental health
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.
