Research suggests that gut-friendly bacteria, or probiotics, could help in treating vitiligo, a skin condition caused by the destruction of pigment-producing cells due to autoimmune responses. These beneficial microorganisms, such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces Boulardii, play a role in maintaining gut health, boosting immunity, and reducing inflammation. The treatment is believed to help suppress harmful T cells that attack pigment while boosting protective regulatory T cells, potentially aiding in the management of vitiligo.
