SKIN HEROES™ - a proprietary combination of prebiotics and nine probiotic strains - launches today after showing to reduce breakouts and improve digestion.
LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ -- HUM Nutrition, the leading beauty vitamin and supplement company, announces the launch of Skin Heroes, the first pre+probiotic that specifically targets the gut-skin axis, formulated for acne-prone (non-cystic) and dry skin.
HUM Nutrition scientists have identified a proprietary combination of prebiotics and nine different probiotic strains that support the gut and promote clear, even and smooth skin. The company has recently concluded an 8 week dermatologist supervised pilot study in which the Skin Heroes formula has shown to visibly reduce breakouts, decrease redness, improve skin hydration and balance the digestion.
Skin Heroes, the latest in HUM Nutrition's line of supplements, specifically targets the gut-skin axis by balancing and nurturing the body's microbiome. To demonstrate the benefits of Skin Heroes, the company commissioned an 8 week consumer trial with 27 participants (23 completed) that was supervised by a dermatologist and a Registered Dietitian. At the end of the trial, 88% of the 23 participants that completed the study reported a decrease in the severity of their breakouts and 81% showed a more balanced digestion. Furthermore, skin hydration also improved.
HUM is known for its tongue in cheek product naming and decided to honor the super power of its pre+probiotic formula by calling it Skin Heroes. More information on the formula:
