I don’t know if any official research has been done on this subject, but it makes perfect sense to me that probiotics would help to clear acne. Acne is often the result of toxins building up in the body, and the colon is the place where these toxins very frequently collect. It’s a well-known fact that the health of the colon often governs the health of the whole body. By taking the probiotics, you are helping to balance out the healthy bacteria in your colon, which will in turn help to clear out all of the bad bacteria that can multiply over time in there. Fewer bad bacteria = fewer toxins = better skin!

I just started taking acidophilus for my chronic constipation problem (I was only going to the bathroom every 2-3 days). I now have regular bowel movements every day after a week of taking them, but i have noticed a significant increase in my acne over the past few days. Could this be that my body is just purging all of the toxins that were blocked up through my skin, and is this only temporary? Thanks!

In health store person said that acne starts from buidl up of toxins in digestive system. told me to take a colon cleanser and it will cure it.
I know you have to take probiotics also, when would u take those?

make sure to choose 1 that guarantees DELIVERY of as many live bacteria as possible, not just when it was manufactured. one that has an eteric coating is good also. some other information that may be usefulhttp://www.herbalremedies.com/acne.html
