Psoriasis? Take good care of your gut
Research shows that gut bacteria can play a vital role in skin health
WE ARE becoming increasingly aware of how our gut affects our overall health.
By improving our natural microbiome, we can help our good bacteria counter the bad, improving our skin as well as our overall health and wellbeing. Growing scientific evidence shows that many diseases, including skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne and atopic dermatitis, are accompanied by an altered gut microbiome. Such irritable skin conditions can cause sore and inflamed skin, impacting the quality of life of millions of people globally. The microbiome is a complex ecosystem of more than
100 trillion microbes, including bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses, living in and on our body. Bacteria dominates our gut, playing a fundamental role in our metabolism and immune systems, as well as influencing skin health. AxisBiotix-Ps, based on the scientific discoveries of world-renowned scientist Professor Cath O’Neill, is a food supplement made up of a bespoke blend of natural and live bacteria that have been specifically selected to support skin health and help alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as psoriasis. Each sachet, taken daily dissolved in water or milk, contains approximately four billion live bacteria that target the gut microbiome to support skin health.
More than 76 per cent of the participants in a recent study with self-identified psoriasis reported overall improvements to their skin, across four factors: itchiness, redness, less irritable and fewer flaky patches. Participants also felt improvements to their general health, in terms of higher energy levels, better sleep and lifted mood.
