Bifidobacteriumlactis Bi-07 For your baby' is especially for little ones from birth to 3 years old, though it can be given to older children too. When it comes to probiotics for the management of established atopic dermatitis, various clinical trials have assessed different probiotic strains for their ability to help improve the symptoms and quality of life of those suffering with eczema. A recent systematic review evaluating the impact of probiotic supplementation upon symptoms of established eczema around the world showed an overall clinically significant reduction in eczema severity in the probiotic groups versus controls 18. This research is promising, although of uncertain clinical significance due to the heterogeneity of clinical trials 6 , 19. Bifidobacteriumbreve M-16V ® Lee S-Y, Lee E, Park YM, Hong SJ.

In early life, colonisation of the gut with microbes is fundamental for the development of a healthy immune system. These microbes activate and promote healthy development of the immature gut mucosal immune system. The hygiene hypothesis identifies an association between the increasing prevalence of atopic and allergic conditions and features of a typical Western lifestyle including highly sanitised environments and antibiotic exposure 9. Infants are exposed to microbes in their environment less and less which can prevent adequate development of the immune system. An immature immune system is dominated by a T helper 2 cell immune response which is implicated in allergic and atopic diseases including atopic dermatitis.

Dyshidrotic Dermatitis (eczema consisting of small itchy blisters typically on soles of feet and palm of hand, associated with seasonal allergies) For best results give 0.3ml (8 drops) daily. One dose contains a minimum of 1 billion live Bifidobacterium breve M-16V ®. Do not exceed recommended daily dosage. Instructions for use There are several ways in which probiotics for eczema may prove to be a useful addition to a health protocol for eczema: Designed specifically for babies and safe for daily use from birth onwards, this three-strain formula supports gut health and immunity and is suitable for both breastfed and formula-fed babies.

Scientifically provenShown to survive stomach acidity and reach the gut alive, where it helps maintainbaby’s gut flora by increasing levels of Bifidobacteria Increased intestinal permeability or “leaky gut” has been linked with atopic dermatitis for many years 14. In leaky gut, the gaps between epithelial cells of the gut wall lining, known as tight junctions, are enlarged. These gaps allow antigens, substances that prompt an immune response, to pass through the intestinal lining. Exposure of the antigen to the GALT (Gut Associated Lymphatic Tissue) in the mucosa 15 stimulates an inflammatory response. This may contribute to the development of inflammatory conditions such as atopic dermatitis. The gut microbiome plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of tight junctions in the gut lining. Probiotics can positively contribute to this “barrier effect”. To learn more about this, read the following article: Could probiotics help with leaky gut? Best probiotics for eczema When choosing a live cultures supplement for your baby, you need to feel confident that it is safe and suitable for the infant microbiome 3. Baby Drops contains an award-winning friendly bacteria strain which has been tested in over 4000 newborn infants 4, babies, and young children 5, and it is ideal for use in both formula-fed and breastfed babies. Now dispatching in our new look! Genetic - A loss-of-function mutation of the gene encoding filaggrin, an important protein required for adequate skin barrier integrity, is implicated.
