Can probiotics help with alopecia?

Your Question:

I have alopecia areata on my beard. I hear kimchi probiotics can help. Do any of your products contain this type of strain?

Zara's Answer:

All skin conditions can be a symptom of dysbiosis in the gut and organs, so supporting the rebalancing of your gut microbiome with beneficial microbes is definitely a great approach. Also your skin microbiome is important to support.
Kimchi has lactic acid bacteria and all our products do contain those. I must say though that none of the efficacy of beneficial microbes comes from single strains, it is of the utmost importance to have a good community of different ones as all the power of the microbiome comes from this wonderful communication between the strains which then go on to create a biome which is unique to you.
So do have a read over the products and choose one which you feel relates to you best.
It is also important to avoid harsh skin products. All microbes are sensitive to dietary and lifestyle influences and changes such as stress and chemicals, so a whole lifestyle approach can be really supportive. Filtering water is also a good step.
