Probiotic Hair Care - Where is it, When You Need it? #SV Reviewing the Research that Could Bring Your Hair Back

Written by | published on

The idea of probiotic shampoos has been thrown around for quite some time, now. Gonna get rid of the text-containing thumbs, btw. I've recently got a request by a SuppVersity reader suggesting I write something about #hairloss... well, I thought: "I've addressed all there is in the two older articles on hair loss," and a cursory search of the latest literature seemed to confirm just that. It (or the absence of corresponding research) did yet also trigger my interest in the role of the microbiome in hair loss, hair maintenance, and hair regrowth... and I am not referring to expensive (useless) probiotics you'd swallow and hope for magic on your scalp. What I wanted to know was: Do we know anything about the scalp microbiome ? Overdoing it on  fasting  may also promote hair loss Monthly 5-Day Fast Works "Lean Gains" Fast Works Habits Determine Effects of Fasting Protein Modified Fast 4 Health IF + Resistance Training = WIN ADF Beats Ca-...

I know but after a period with a severe lack of motivation and a lot to do outside the virtual walls of the SuppVersity, I will try to come back with (not yet daily but) weekly articles on topics near and dear to your and my heart. And if you've been following the SuppVersity for some time, now, you will see that it's only logical to do so with an article about coffee. If you want daily articles/news, by the way, I would suggest that you follow the SuppVersity on Facebook + Instagram .

Spore-Forming Probiotics - The Better Probiotics? Review

Written by | published on

Sauerkraut is one of the best known probiotic foods, but there's more: Kefir & yogurt, kimchi, kombucha, miso, pickles, apple cidar vinegar, and - as discussed recently - raw cheese. I found out rather accidentally that there is a potentially relevant difference between "probiotics" and "spore-forming probiotics". Relevant enough for me to believe that you should learn about this difference, as well. After all, it seems as if the spores, you will probably only know from anthrax, provide a solution to the #1 major obstacle of efficient probiotic therapies: the destruction and digestion of the life bacteria before they even reach their destination in the colon. If we go by the WHO definition probiotics are "live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host" (FAO/WHO. 2002) - spore-forming or not, stable or unstable freeze dried or encapsulated. You can learn more about the gut & your h...
