  • For eczema, particularly atopic dermatitis, certain supplements have been studied for their potential benefits:

    1. Vitamin E: This antioxidant has been studied for its ability to decrease serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in atopic patients. Some trials suggest it might aid in managing symptoms of eczema1.

    2. Probiotics and Prebiotics: The combination of probiotics and prebiotics has shown some promise in managing atopic dermatitis, though studies vary significantly in their design. More research is needed to clarify specific strains and dosages2.

    3. Fish Oil: Some participants in studies reported improved skin condition when adding fish oil to their diet, though data is still limited3.

    4. Vitamin D: Although results are mixed, some meta-analyses suggest that vitamin D supplementation might reduce the severity of symptoms in children with atopic dermatitis4.

    5. Evening Primrose Oil and Borage Seed Oil: These have been used due to their gamma-linolenic acid content. However, studies have not shown significant benefits over placebo in eczema therapy5.

    It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially for managing eczema.
