If you want to heal your skin, you have to heal your gut ... if you want to heal your gut, you have to get Plexus TriPlex !!

 After reading the article, The gut-skin connection: how altered gut function affects the skin, by Chris Kresser, it hit so close to home.    I don't know if it's being a ginger, or the less than desirable DNA I inherited from my Maternal Grandfather's family .... but my skin seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes, that is until I started taking Plexus TriPlex !!

From Chris Kresser's above article, says it all (his words, my images):

Researchers as far back as 1930 suspected a link between gut and skin health, and modern research has now confirmed the importance of this relationship. And as a clinician who works with people on these conditions, I’d go as far as to say this:  If you want to heal your skin, you have to heal your gut.

Happy Gut, Healthy You™

The gut flora also influences the skin. Substance P is a neuropeptide produced in the gut, brain and skin that plays a major role in skin conditions. Altered gut microbiota promotes the release of substance P in both the gut and the skin, and probiotics can attenuate this response. (6) The gut microbiota influences lipids and tissue fatty acid profiles, and may influence sebum production as well as the fatty acid composition of the sebum. (7) This may explain why a Russian study found that 54% of acne patients have significant alterations to the gut flora (8), and a Chinese study involving patients with seborrheic dermatitis also noted disruptions in the normal gut flora. 2

Helps Balance Gut Flora

Probiotics improve skin conditions   Another line of evidence suggesting a connection between the gut and skin is the observation that probiotics improve skin conditions. Oral probiotics have been shown to decrease lipopolysaccharide, improve intestinal barrier function and reduce inflammation. The first formal case report series on the value of using lactobacilli to treat skin conditions was published in 1961 by a physician named Robert Siver. He followed 300 patients who were given a commercially available probiotic and found that 80 percent of those with acne had some clinical improvement. ³ In a more recent Italian study involving 40 patients, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum in addition to standard care led to better clinical outcomes than standard care alone. (9) And another recent study of 56 patients with acne showed that the consumption of a Lactobacillus fermented dairy beverage improved clinical aspects of acne over a 12-week period. (10)
