We examined the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 on eczema prevention among children with genetic predispositions. In our double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study involving 331 children, we discovered that those with specific high-risk gene variants experienced lower eczema rates when treated with HN001, compared to those receiving a placebo. This suggests Lactobacillus rhamnosus might be particularly beneficial for children at greater genetic risk of eczema and may even influence the severity of eczema and related allergic conditions.

We investigated whether taking the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG during pregnancy could help lower the risk of eczema in infants. In a randomized controlled trial, 250 pregnant women, whose babies were at high risk for allergic diseases, took this probiotic from 36 weeks until delivery.
Unfortunately, we found that this prenatal treatment didn’t significantly reduce the incidence of eczema or any allergic reactions in their babies. This suggests that probiotics might need to be given after birth, or we may need to explore different strains for better results.

We explored the potential of Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 in reducing eczema among infants at high risk. Through a robust double-blind trial, expecting mothers took the probiotic from 35 weeks pregnant and continued while breastfeeding, while infants received it from birth to two years. Remarkably, this approach halved the prevalence of eczema by ages 2 and 4. Even better, the benefits seemed to last until age 6, showing promising potential in preventing eczema and associated allergic sensitization. However, another probiotic, HN019, did not show similar effects, suggesting specific benefits tied to HN001.

Significant improvement noticed
3 people found this helpful
My eczema has shown considerable improvement after years of struggle. Through consultations with nutritionists, I learned that probiotics could positively influence eczema. Initially, I bought two boxes and now only consume one box. Nearly a decade of eczema has significantly improved, and I plan to continue.

Cured eczema quickly
I’ve purchased this probiotic repeatedly as it helped cure my eczema and abdominal pain. Despite not following the package instructions precisely and doubling the daily dosage, my facial eczema cleared up in under a week. I've also recommended it to three friends who, after seeing a doctor for a week with no improvement, noticed significant betterment after just one day of using this probiotic. I highly endorse this brand.

Helps with skin condition
I regularly consume probiotics, which are beneficial for eczema-prone skin. The doctor mentioned that I have a lazy bowel, and I've noticed they help alleviate gas after meals.

We conducted a study to see if giving probiotics to mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding could help reduce eczema in infants at risk. This double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 241 mother-infant pairs, where mothers were given either specific probiotics or a placebo.
Our findings showed that infants whose mothers took Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium longum had a significantly lower risk of developing eczema in their first two years. This suggests that probiotics can be a safe and effective preventive measure for high-risk infants.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus reduces eczema prevalence
We conducted a robust study using a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial to explore the impact of Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 on eczema in young children.
Mothers supplemented with HN001 from the 35th week of pregnancy until 6 months of breastfeeding, while infants continued taking the probiotic until age 2.
Remarkably, we found that this approach halved the prevalence of eczema by age 2, and its protective effects persisted up to age 4. HN001 may be a promising preventive measure for infants at high risk of allergic diseases.

Probiotic formula benefits allergy management
We examined the impact of several infant formulas on allergies in children with cow's milk allergy over 36 months.
Our findings showed that the extensively hydrolyzed casein formula containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG led to a significantly lower rate of eczema and other allergic issues compared to other formula types.
Children treated with this particular formula also exhibited a faster development of immune tolerance.
It appears that incorporating this probiotic could be beneficial for managing allergies in infants.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we evaluated the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus alongside Bifidobacterium on eczema development in infants.
Over 290 participants received either the probiotic mixture or a placebo. Notably, at the end of the six-month intervention, only 4.2% of the probiotic group developed eczema, compared to 11.5% in the placebo group.
Other allergic conditions like asthma and rhinitis showed no significant differences, indicating that while probiotics may help with eczema, they don’t necessarily prevent other common allergies.

We investigated how the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 affects eczema in infants. In a well-structured study involving 474 infants, those who received the probiotic had a 50% lower risk of developing eczema compared to a placebo group.
Interestingly, while the probiotic did increase the functional capacity of the gut microbiome, it didn’t significantly change its overall composition. This study suggests that Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 can be a beneficial factor in reducing eczema risk, but more research is needed to understand how these changes relate to long-term health.

We conducted a randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate whether maternal supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 could reduce the risk of infant eczema. Mothers took the probiotic from 14 to 16 weeks of pregnancy until 6 months after birth while breastfeeding, but the infants didn’t receive the probiotic directly.
Unfortunately, our findings showed that this approach did not significantly reduce eczema or related conditions by the time the children reached 12 months old. This contrasts with previous research where both mothers and infants took the supplement and saw better results.

Eczema prevention linked to probiotics
We explored the effectiveness of probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus rhamnosus, in preventing eczema and food allergies. The research highlights that combining prenatal and postnatal probiotic treatment can significantly reduce eczema prevalence in infants up to 2 years old, with some benefits lasting until age 4. However, not all studies are consistent—while many show promising results, others do not find any significant effects. This suggests that the timing and specific strain of probiotics play a crucial role in their potential benefits.
