Myth Busting Microbiome Supplements

The microbiome has become a significant focus in skincare, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the variety of biome-based supplements available. From gut health to skin support, there’s a lot of information—and misinformation—out there. Let’s debunk some common myths about microbiome supplements and show why Skin Clear Biome™ stands out as a key player in both gut and skin health.

Myth 1: All microbiome supplements need to be refrigerated

Not all microbiome supplements require refrigeration. While proper storage is essential for maintaining the bacteria's effectiveness, if the packaging doesn’t specify refrigeration, the product is shelf-stable. This is often due to advanced packaging techniques, such as nitrogen-flushed, aluminium pods that shield the bacteria from heat, light, and air. Skin Clear Biome™ uses cutting-edge packaging to ensure its live cultures remain potent without the need for refrigeration.

Myth 2: The higher the number of cultures, the better

A common misconception is that more live cultures mean a better product. In reality, the quality and variety of bacterial strains are far more important than sheer quantity. For example, having 20 or 50 billion live cultures doesn’t necessarily enhance the product’s effectiveness. What matters is the guaranteed number of live cultures by the “best before” date—not just at the time of manufacturing. Skin Clear Biome™  ensures the right balance of strains for both skin and gut health, with transparency on its live cultures at the point of consumption.

Myth 3: Microbiome supplements only benefit your gut

While biome-based supplements do support gut health, many also benefit the skin. Research indicates that certain strains of bacteria can help with skin conditions like acne and eczema. A balanced gut microbiome can translate into a balanced skin microbiome, reducing the risk of breakouts and inflammation. Skin Clear Biome™ is designed with these benefits in mind, supporting clear, healthy skin from within.

Myth 4: I get enough friendly bacteria from food

Fermented foods like kimchi, yogurt, and miso are great for your gut, but they may not provide enough beneficial bacteria to meet your body’s needs. In some cases, the bacteria in these foods are added during processing, which means they’re not naturally occurring. Skin Clear Biome™ offers a concentrated dose of skin-friendly bacteria that can’t be easily matched by diet alone, making it an essential addition to your daily routine.

Myth 5: Your body gets used to microbiome supplements

Contrary to popular belief, your body doesn’t become immune to the effects of microbiome supplements. Our modern lifestyles—filled with processed foods, sugar, alcohol, and stress—can disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in our gut. This imbalance, known as dysbiosis, can affect both gut and skin health. Regular support with a supplement like Skin Clear Biome™ helps maintain a healthy microbiome and promotes radiant, youthful skin, even in the face of daily challenges.

Discover the transformative power of Skin Clear Biome™, and give your gut and skin the support they need for clear, glowing results.
