Which probiotics have shown promise for psoriasis?
While there isn't one specific brand recommended universally, research has identified certain probiotic strains that may help with psoriasis symptoms:
* Bifidobacterium infantis - Studies showed this strain helped decrease inflammation markers in people with psoriasis
* Lactobacillus sporogenes - Research found this strain helped improve severe pustular psoriasis, with some participants seeing significant improvement within two weeks
When choosing a probiotic supplement, look for products that contain these specific bacterial strains rather than focusing solely on brand names.
You can also get probiotics naturally through foods like yogurt, kefir, tempeh, kombucha, and sauerkraut.
Important: Always talk with your doctor before starting any probiotic supplement. They can help determine if probiotics are right for you and ensure they won't interfere with your current medications or treatments.
Some MyPsoriasisTeam members have reported positive results with probiotics, with one sharing that their legs became "almost totally clear" after starting a good probiotic. However, individual results vary, and what works for one person may not work for another.
