Role of probiotics in allergies
There is a direct link between allergies and the microbiome through the immune system. Allergic reactions are IgE-mediated and immunological in nature [1] and the microbiome is known to be involved in the education and keynote of the immune system [2,3]. The relationship with the microbiome is confirmed by different types of studies in asthma, atopic dermatitis, food allergies, and hay fever [4,5]. Interventions with pre- and probiotics in pregnant women and their children have been shown to have preventive and curative effects in atopic dermatitis [6,7] and food allergies [8,9]. The effects are strain-specific and this can be translated into the personal preparations in MyOwnBlend.
