It has been over 70 years since dermatologists John H. Stokes and Donald M. Pillsbury first proposed a gastrointestinal mechanism\u2014connecting the digestive system to other organs\u2014for conditions like depression, anxiety, and skin disorders such as acne. Stokes and Pillsbury hypothesized that emotional states could alter normal gut flora, increase intestinal permeability (also known as leaky gut), and contribute to systemic inflammation. Among the measures advocated by Stokes and Pillsbury was the intake of probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus to improve these conditions. Several aspects of the gut-brain-skin theory have recently been validated. The ability of gut flora and probiotic supplementation\u2014dietary supplements of beneficial gut bacteria\u2014to influence systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, glycemic control, lipid levels, and even mood can be highly significant in acne and related skin issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High-quality probiotic supplements are strongly recommended for acne. Good probiotics should contain numerous non-competing strains and high doses.
