Lactobacillus KBL409 reduces atopic dermatitis
Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 Ameliorates Atopic Dermatitis in a Mouse Model.
Relevance score high for probiotics
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 on atopic dermatitis (AD) using a house dust mite-induced mouse model. The treatment notably lowered dermatitis symptoms and reduced immune cell infiltration in the skin. Additionally, it decreased levels of specific immune markers and increased anti-inflammatory responses.

L. acidophilus KBL409 also positively influenced gut microbiota and certain metabolites. The findings suggest that this probiotic may offer a promising approach to managing AD through immune system modulation and gut health improvement.

Lactobacillus L-92 shows promise
Efficacy of prolonged ingestion of Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 in adult patients with atopic dermatitis.
High relevance to eczema treatment
We conducted a thorough investigation to see how Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 affects skin symptoms in adults with atopic dermatitis. In this double-blind study involving 50 participants, we compared this probiotic against a placebo over 24 weeks.

Our findings showed that those taking L-92 experienced significant improvements in skin condition compared to the placebo group. There were reductions in symptoms and overall severity, with no adverse effects reported. This suggests that L-92 may help manage inflammation linked to allergies.

Lactobacillus acidophilus may reduce allergies
Probiotic Dahi containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum modulates immunoglobulin levels and cytokines expression in whey proteins sensitised mice.
Study shows potential probiotic benefits.
Our study assessed how Lactobacillus acidophilus in probiotic Dahi affects allergies, particularly cow milk allergy in mice. Mice were given two types of probiotic Dahi before being exposed to whey proteins.

The results were promising; we found that the probiotic treatment reduced allergy-related immune responses. Specifically, it lowered certain IgE levels and shifted the immune response from a Th2-type to a Th1-type, which is generally more protective against allergens.

While further research is needed, these findings suggest that probiotics could be a potential avenue for managing food allergies.

Effective for allergies
I've tried many lactobacillus products but often suffered from allergies and diarrhoea. This product has been life-changing. No matter what I eat, including allergy-triggering foods, I no longer have diarrhoea.

Allergic reaction
Unfortunately, I was allergic to casein due to delayed allergies. I purchased this as a remedy for candida, but it did not help and resulted in eczema.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus shows promise
The Effect of Lactobacillus actobacillus Peptidoglycan on Bovine β-Lactoglobulin-Sensitized Mice via TLR2/NF-κB Pathway.
Moderate relevance to allergy treatment
We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus on allergies, particularly its peptidoglycan derived from dairy. In a mouse model of β-lactoglobulin allergy, we discovered that this peptidoglycan helped lower IgE production and promoted a healthier immune response. It also appeared to influence specific immune signaling pathways that help manage allergic reactions.

However, while the results showed promise, they were conducted in a controlled lab setting and further studies are needed to understand how these effects translate to humans.

Probiotics may help with dermatitis
Effects of probiotic supplementation in adult with atopic dermatitis: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Probiotic effectiveness remains unclear.
We aimed to assess how probiotic supplementation, particularly using Lactobacillus acidophilus, can help treat adult atopic dermatitis (AD). After analyzing nine studies, we found that specific probiotics, including L. acidophilus, provided some benefits, especially for those with moderate to severe AD.

However, changes in skin severity did not significantly improve patients’ quality of life. Importantly, the effectiveness of probiotics varied by strain, and there are still many unknowns about the best dosage and treatment duration.

Supports allergies
I started using NOW Foods Acidophilus after antibiotics disrupted my gut flora. I noticed significant improvements in digestion and fewer allergies. They are easy to swallow, gluten-free, and do not require refrigeration, making them perfect for travelling. I'm very pleased and will continue using them.
