Check how this probiotic can control dandruff

The skin is colonized by a diverse array of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. The skin microbiome is defined as the collection of all microbes that colonize the skin. Environments at various topographical areas of skin can affect the microbial colonization.

The major bacterial-fungal populations colonizing human scalps have been characterized. Furthermore, the dysbiosis of bacterial-fungal populations has been implicated in scalp dandruff, which presents as significant problems to large numbers of people.

Dandruff scalps are associated with a higher abundance of Malassezia restricta and Staphylococcal species. The severity of dandruff can range from mild scale formation similar to dry skin to seborrheic dermatitis.
