Calcium's complex impact on eczema
We explored the connection between dietary calcium intake and the occurrence of eczema in adults using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2005-2006. Our aim was to see if there’s a relationship between how much calcium adults consume and the likelihood of developing eczema, a common skin condition.

In this observational study, we analyzed responses from 4,086 adults, of whom 266 reported having eczema. Our statistical analysis revealed an interesting pattern: we found that individuals in the third quartile of calcium intake had a significantly higher risk of eczema compared to those in the first quartile. Essentially, our results suggested that as dietary calcium intake increased, so did the prevalence of eczema—up to a certain point.

We identified an inverted U-shaped relationship between calcium intake and eczema prevalence. Specifically, an increase in calcium intake was associated with a higher occurrence of eczema until calcium levels reached a logarithmic value of 7.089. Thus, moderating calcium intake may help reduce the incidence of eczema.

These findings indicate that while calcium is essential for health, excessive consumption may not always be beneficial, particularly in relation to skin conditions like eczema. Further research is necessary to explore this relationship more deeply and determine the best levels of calcium intake for preventing eczema.

We explored the impact of a baby cleanser on the calcium content of hard water, which is known to be linked with eczema flare-ups. The study involved in vitro tests that measured free calcium levels in hard water both before and after the addition of the cleanser. We also conducted an in vivo exploratory study with three young women to assess how much calcium could be absorbed into the skin from hard water.

Our findings were quite significant. The baby cleanser effectively reduced free calcium levels in hard water from about 500 ppm to under 200 ppm at a 1% dilution. Remarkably, a 10% dilution nearly eliminated all free calcium. We noted that the anionic surfactant present in the cleanser was particularly influential in achieving this reduction.

Interestingly, in our exploratory in vivo study, we recorded approximately a 15% reduction in free calcium from hard water after just 10 minutes of exposure. This suggests that baby cleansers not only bind free calcium but might also play a role in managing the water hardness that could lead to skin issues like eczema.

Although we did not specifically measure the direct effects on eczema, reducing free calcium in bath water may be beneficial for creating a more suitable bathing environment for babies prone to skin sensitivities. Overall, these alterations in water chemistry could be an important consideration for parents dealing with eczema in their children.

We conducted a study to evaluate how a specialized diet could help workers in perlite production who suffer from occupational eczema. The study included 165 workers with eczema and a control group of 152 healthy individuals. Our focus was on the effects of specific nutrients, including calcium, present in a dietary supplement that also contained pectin, vitamins A and E, and zinc.

Upon including this specialized food in the diet of the eczema patients, we observed some positive changes. There was a notable increase in levels of ascorbic acid, tocopherol, and carotenoids in their blood, suggesting an improvement in general nutritional status. Furthermore, a slight elevation in calcium levels was also documented, yet the specific impact of calcium on eczema symptoms remains unclear since the diet included various other nutrients as well.

Interestingly, the study found a reduction in the severity of eczema symptoms, such as itching and inflammation. However, we cannot pinpoint calcium’s unique contribution due to its presence along with other beneficial ingredients in the diet. Overall, our findings highlight the potential benefits of specialized nutrition in helping enhance the body's resilience against occupational skin diseases like eczema, but further investigation is needed to specifically assess calcium’s role.

For six years I struggled with eczema on my hands and tried numerous treatments. I discovered that coffee drinkers excrete vitamin B5, essential for cell building. After taking just two capsules, the redness disappeared. I don't take it daily, as I feel the dosage is quite high. Remarkably, I haven’t experienced any further eczema flare-ups, even after washing dishes without gloves. My overall calmness has also improved. I’m thrilled with the results from these capsules.

Noticed improvement
I heard taking B5 500mg twice daily for a month is good for eczema, so I bought it. Initially, I saw no change, likely due to sweating in the heat. However, by the end of the month, I noticed significant improvement. I will repeat the process.
