What Do Probiotics Have to Do with Your Skin?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria found naturally in the human body and in certain foods like yogurt. They are commonly available as supplements, with over 400 different strains identified. Different strains of probiotics are indicated differently and may help with various problems such as skin, gut, or even sleep management. 

Some research discovered people with eczema tend to have less diverse gut bacteria, which can affect immunity and leads to inflammatory conditions. Probiotics can influence the gut microbiome, but their impact on eczema varies. Some strains of probiotics, such as lactobacillus salivarius LS01, are one of the few proven probiotics that can reduce SCORAD score by half. SCORAD is the clinical tool healthcare professionals used to assess the severity of eczema (atopic dermatitis). They reduce skin inflammation and improve the skin's barrier function for better skin.

Newdirran AD Probiotics is one of the probiotics we have. It contains the patented strain lactobacillus salivarius LS01, hence effectively targeting individuals with eczema needs. When choosing supplements, you should always look for the strain (eg. LS01 in this case) because the efficacy and use of probiotics is dependent on the strain rather than the name (eg. Lactobacillus salivarius in this case). Other than probiotics, bamboo silica and hyaluronic acid also helps alleviate signs of eczema as well.
