The skin microbiome can be influenced by internal and external factors, including genetics, age, diet, hygiene practices, and environmental exposures. For example, using harsh cleansers or antibiotics can disrupt the balance of bacteria on the skin and cause what is known as dysbiosis. Additionally, exposure to pollutants and UV radiation can also have an impact on the skin microbiome. On the other hand, a healthy diet, gentle skincare routine, and adding a symbiotic to your daily routine can promote a diverse and balanced microbiome.

Most people have heard this phrase as a kid when someone wanted them to “toughen up” after they skinned their knee or got a small scrape while playing outside. While it sounds painful and unpleasant, it may not have been the worst advice.

The exact meaning and origin of this phrase remains up for debate, but some say that the beneficial microbiota found in dirt may provide one explanation. While we know that minerals found in soil and clay have been used for their antibacterial and detoxifying properties for many many years, recent research suggests that some soil based probiotics may also provide protective properties against certain bacterial infections.

For example, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis are soil based organisms that produce enzymes and metabolites that have been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Furthermore, both B. licheniformis and B. subtilis are also used industrially to produce Bacitracin, an antibiotic that is used topically on minor cuts, scrapes, and burns to prevent infections.

While this may not be the true meaning behind this phrase, it’s one interpretation that supports the importance of naturally growing your microbiome by playing outside in the dirt.

MYBYOME has designed a hormone health support system that includes a specialized probiotic formula and a complementary prebiotic formula that supports healthy female and male hormone physiology. Recent research suggests that probiotics and dietary prebiotics may affect endocrine function by influencing microbiome composition. Furthermore, the microbiome is influenced not only by microbial accessible fiber, but also by numerous unique phytomolecules we call Next Gen Prebiotics.

MYBYOME’s BYOCRINE PRE-BYOME was designed around these unique next generation prebiotics to provide important dietary diversity for the hormone friendly probiotics found in BYOCRINE BYOME. BYOCRINE BYOME is formulated with Next Gen probiotics that have been clinically studied and evaluated for their functional support of the microbiome endocrine (hormonal) axis. When used together this probiotic and prebiotic system can help support hormone health by maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal and urogenital microbiome.

The human microbiome plays a very important role in multiple body systems, including the endocrine system, reproductive system, and urinary system. Research has shown that administration of pre- and probiotics may have a direct impact on the function of these systems through the gastrointestinal microbiome and also through the urogenital microbiome; the community of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes that inhabit the organs of the reproductive system and urinary system. Furthermore, the functions of these systems are regulated by certain hormones that are produced and secreted by endocrine organs.

The latest research on the urogenital microbiome has shown that there are several specific strains of probiotics, including various lactobacillus species, that can also produce hormones, enzymes, and other bioactive compounds that help support healthy endocrine and reproductive functions. This interaction between the microbiome and the endocrine system is often referred to as the microbiome endocrine axis. It is suggested that dysbiosis in the urogenital microbiome may disrupt the microbiome endocrine axis and promote the onset of several endocrine disorders and urogenital infections. On the other hand, the right combination of these probiotics have been reported to support the endocrine system by helping establish and maintain healthy hormone physiology.

Happy International Women's Day from all of us at MYBYOME. Today we would like to take the opportunity to recognize how unique, powerful, and essential women are to the world. Not only do women bring every life into this world, they begin shaping our microbiome the minute we are born!

The skin is the human body’s largest organ and is home to its own unique microbiome. Your skin microbiome acts as the outermost layer of the immune system that helps regulate the growth of potential pathogens and absorption of toxins that may come in contact with the skin. Things like your environment, age, UV exposure, cosmetics, hygiene, diet and other lifestyle choices can all influence your skin microbiome. Furthermore, research has shown that the internal microbiome can also influence the external microbiome through a system called the gut-skin axis.

MYBYOME’s SKIN BYOME Supplementary and Topical System supports both the external and internal microbiomes to promote overall skin health. This system includes SKIN BYOME, SKIN VYROME and DERMA COLONIZER. When used together this system is the ultimate solution to skin health!

SKIN BYOME is an oral probiotic formulated with strains of bacteria that have been reported to provide numerous skin benefits and improve immune function in the skin.

SKIN VYROME is a topical formula that utilizes a bacteriophage that specifically targets the Cutibacterium acnes (C.acnes) bacteria to help balance the microbiome without compromising the diversity of healthy bacteria.

DERMA COLONIZER is a topical formula designed with a unique combination of skin probiotics, essential fatty acids and waxes that help moisturize the skin and diversify its microbiome.
