Add on the breakfast session with Yakult - From Gut to Glow: the role of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics in skin health

From infancy to old age, skin undergoes numerous changes. Skin conditions that are often more likely to occur at specific life stages, e.g. atopic dermatitis in children, acne in adolescents and adults, psoriasis in older adults, as well as skin ageing, are driven by inflammation. Over the last decade there has been an increased focus on the gut-skin axis and how microbial-related therapies could be utilised to prevent inflammatory skin conditions. Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are immune system modulators via their effects on the gut microbiome, and therefore have the potential to improve functional indicators of skin health and delay skin ageing. Yakult Science for Health will present results from their collaborative research with King’s College London; a scoping review addressing how oral probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics can improve and optimise skin health throughout the entire life course.
