Research is increasingly showing that a diverse and healthy gut microbiome plays a role in fine-tuning the immune system. In fact, gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) represents almost 70% of the entire immune system. Probiotics play a role in defining and maintaining the delicate balance between necessary and excessive defense mechanisms including innate and adaptive immune responses. Advances, such as the success of fecal transplantation for antibiotic-associated diarrhea caused by C. difficile, illustrate the example that microbiota are to be considered an optimal therapy for infectious disease [1]. One of the ways probiotics promote human health is by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbe and consequently reduce recurrent infections. The gut microbiota largely regulate the homeostasis as well as the development of immune cells. Probiotics confer protection against pathogen colonization by inducing their direct killing, competing with nutrients, and enhancing the response of the gut-associated immune repertoire, therefore suppress the growth of potential pathogenic microbe and maintain the immune balance [2].
The skin is body’s largest organ and plays an important role in overall immunity by providing a barrier of protection to the body. Many skin issues steep from inside with the same sources: imbalance and inflammation, which can be associated with conditions like acne, rosacea, premature skin aging, etc. [3]. The innate and adaptive immune system have an effect on skin epidermal barrier function and on defense against pathogens. Abnormal skin inflammation is characterized by compromised skin barrier integrity, heightened inflammatory response against stimulants, and diminished antimicrobial functions. Research has pointed to the fundamental role of gut microbes in maintaining skin health. The PRO-BEAUTY gives the skin nutrition for optimal skin immunity and nourishment to maximize the skin’s potential. Lifestyle has an impact on skin health as well. Getting good sleep, moving the body, sweating and managing stress also help increase the skin immunity, promote regeneration and keep youth.
There has been an increase in antibacterial skin care products. This can lead to children having a poorly developed immune system. The fundamental role of our immune system is to distinguish what is foreign from what is ourselves, and keep the balance from unnecessary defense reaction. PRO-BEAUTY helps to strengthen the gut wall so that pathogens and allergens can’t seep through and cause problems for the immune system. They may also support the immune system by teaching it the appropriate way to respond to allergens. The dynamics of gut colonization in earlier years play a critical role in shaping the immune system, and there is a possibility of enriching the gut microflora using probiotics that could contribute towards the prevention of allergic conditions in later life [4]. This, in turn, helps to soothe an over-reactive immune system.
