Immune + Skin
Frequent illness, allergies, skin issues — about 70% of your immune system is gut-associated. When something's off inside, it often shows on the outside. If topical treatments haven't worked, there's often a reason.
The gut and immune system have a deep, two-way relationship. Your gut contains more immune cells than anywhere else in your body. When your microbiome is imbalanced, immune function often follows — showing up as frequent illness, allergic responses, or inflammatory skin conditions.
Skin issues in particular often reflect internal imbalance. The gut-skin axis means that what's happening in your digestive system can manifest on your skin.
Do you experience...
If several of these resonate, your gut-immune connection may be involved.
- Frequent colds or infections
- Eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis
- Acne that doesn't respond to topical treatment
- Seasonal allergies or hay fever
- Inflammation that persists
- Skin that seems connected to what you eat
Why Progurt Works When Others Haven't
Three problems with treating immune and skin issues from the outside — and how MEND addresses each one.
Topical Treatments
Creams and ointments manage symptoms but don't address why your skin is reacting. If the trigger is internal, external solutions provide temporary relief at best.
Inside-Out Approach
MEND addresses the internal environment that influences skin health. Many people find they need fewer topical interventions as internal balance improves.
Immune Boosters
Many immune issues come from dysregulation — the immune system responding inappropriately, not insufficiently. 'Boosting' can make this worse.
Immune Balance
A healthy microbiome helps regulate immune function — not just stimulate it. The goal is appropriate response, not maximum response.
Antihistamines
Blocking histamine receptors treats the symptom, not the source. Over time, you may need more to get the same effect.
Root Cause Support
Human-origin bacteria can help regulate the inflammatory pathways that drive allergic responses. Address the foundation, not just the reaction.
Common Misconception
"Skin problems are just skin problems" — Many chronic skin conditions have a gut component that topical treatments can't address. The gut-skin axis is real science.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see skin improvements?
Skin cell turnover takes about 28 days, so meaningful changes typically appear after 4-6 weeks of gut support. Some people notice subtle improvements earlier, while stubborn conditions may take longer.
Will this help with my allergies?
Allergies involve complex immune responses. Many people report reduced seasonal symptoms as their microbiome rebalances, but individual results vary. The goal is supporting appropriate immune regulation.
Can I use this alongside my current skin routine?
Yes. Progurt works from the inside while your topical routine works from the outside. Many people find they need fewer topical interventions as internal balance improves.
I have an autoimmune condition — is this appropriate?
Autoimmune conditions should be managed with practitioner guidance. While many people with autoimmune issues find microbiome support helpful, we recommend discussing any protocol with your healthcare provider.
Will my skin get worse before it gets better?
Some people experience brief adjustment periods as their system rebalances. This is typically mild and short-lived. The Mineralise phase helps minimise this by preparing the terrain first.
Is this a good fit if I have active autoimmune conditions?
Active autoimmune conditions requiring medical management should continue under practitioner guidance. Progurt can be complementary to clinical care, but discuss with your healthcare provider first.
