Probiotics
Friendly bacteria help keep the gut wall sealed, calming the traffic between gut, liver and brain.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Friendly strains tighten the gut wall so fewer irritants leak toward liver and brain, and the skin, freed of that inflammatory traffic, clears and calms.
Taken by mouth, probiotics lowered inflammatory acne lesion counts more than control across three double-blind randomized trials in 231 people with acne (pooled standardized effect 0.57).
Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials in clinically diagnosed samples find that probiotics (psychobiotics) and prebiotics reduce depression and anxiety symptoms; the microbiota modulates neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine), the HPA axis and the vagus nerve.
