Psoriasis Overview
- Psoriasis involves a 10x faster skin cell growth rate, resulting in dry, flaky, red patches.
- It's linked to gut issues like IBS and IBD, indicating a potential gut origin.
GAGs in Skin
- Skin cells contain GAGs (amino acids + sugars) for water retention and lubrication.
- GAGs support collagen and elastin, providing skin structure and elasticity.
GAGs and Disease
- Higher GAG levels in urine suggest breakdown in psoriasis patients.
- This mirrors IBD, where the protective mucus layer (containing GAGs) is destroyed.
