Novel strategies are currently under investigation for the prevention and treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). The supplementation of the diet with probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics is probably one of the most promising approaches. Hereby, we summarize the current available evidence regarding the use of probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics in AD. Biotic products seem to have a beneficial effect on AD, especially concerning its prevention. However, the evidence to support the supplementation of the diet with biotics for the management of AD is still not enough to make clear recommendations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
