Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that promotes health and cognitive improvement through periodic eating. It has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity reduce oxidative stress inflammation. Recent studies have demonstrated probiotic supplementation enhances performance by modulating gut microbiota composition increasing short‐chain fatty acid production, which in turn neurogenesis synaptic plasticity. The microbiota‐gut‐brain axis (MGBA) the communication bridge between brain, influencing function immune, endocrine, nervous systems. combination of probiotics IF may exert complementary effects on function, with enhancing microbial diversity metabolic efficiency, while further modulate barrier integrity neurotransmitter synthesis. This review critically examines interplay via MGBA, identifying key mechanisms potential therapeutic strategies remain underexplored current research.

Astragali Radix (AR), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is derived from the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao (A. mongholicus, AMM) or Bge membranaceus, AM). According to medicine (TCM) theory, AR believed tonify qi, elevate yang, consolidate body’s surface reduce sweating, promote diuresis and swelling, generate body fluids, nourish blood. It has been widely used treat general weakness chronic illnesses improve overall vitality. Extensive research identified various medicinal properties AR, including anti-tumor, antioxidant, cardiovascular-protective, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective effects. With advancements in technology, methods such as computer-aided drug design (CADD) artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly being applied development TCM. This review summarizes progress on over past decades, providing comprehensive overview its efficacy, botanical characteristics, distribution, chemical constituents, phytochemistry. aims enhance researchers’ understanding pharmaceutical potential, thereby facilitating further utilization.
