Probiotics

Probiotics consist of different groups of live bacteria and microorganisms that live both in the body and on the skin’s surface.

There are two main categories of probiotics:

• Lactobacillus – considered “friendly bacteria”, commonly found in the human digestive system and in probiotic foods. Several different species exist and can contribute towards treating IBS, digestion problems and skin disorders like acne and eczema when consumed.
• Bifidobacterium – groups of bacteria that reside within the intestines and can also be cultured outside of the body for use in probiotic yoghurts. They are frequently used to treat diarrhoea, intestinal disorders and IBS when consumed in food or supplement form.

Individual strains have different effects on the body, which means that by eating the right foods rich in probiotics, or applying a likewise solution, bacteria can contribute positively to both your gut and skin health.

Prebiotics

Prebiotics are made up of plant-based carbohydrates that are used as fuel for beneficial probiotic bacteria growth. They can’t be digested by humans, however their role is to positively change or preserve the healthy microbiome found in the gut, or on the skin, when eaten or applied.

Ingredients found in products that are high in prebiotics include:

• Colloidal Oat – Colloidal oat is used to help moisturise and soothe dry, itchy skin, and has been shown to help improve the balance of the skin’s microbiome.
• Blackcurrant – increasingly found in food supplements, the extract powder from blackcurrants can increase the amount of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli found in the gut. This can contribute to good overall digestive health.
